Three prolific thieves have been put behind bars after police launched a crackdown on theft and antisocial behaviour in Mansfield. Their crimes included shoplifting and using a stolen bank card taken from a car.
David Lafferty, 42, was arrested last week after he was linked to multiple shop thefts over the summer. Lafferty, of Bentinck Street, Sutton-in-Ashfield, helped himself to clothes, laundry and health supplements worth more than £600.
Appearing at Mansfield Magistrates Court on September 1 Lafferty, who has multiple previous convictions, pleaded guilty to eight theft offences. He was jailed for six months.
