A prolific shoplifter who persistently pilfered from a Bristol store has been jailed. Dominic Finn repeatly targeted One Stop in Queen Charlotte Street, Bristol Crown Court heard.
The 27-year-old, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to six breaches of a Criminal Behaviour Order, four thefts from a shop and criminal damage.
Judge James Patrick jailed him for four years. The judge, who sentenced Finn in his absence, said: "The defendant has a shocking record associated with drug use and there is a pattern of him targeting a particular shop and shoplifting frequently."

Neil Treharne, prosecuting, told the court Finn repeatedly stole goods including wine from One Stop, breaching a court order imposed to stop offending. He also cited an occasion when Finn smashed a car window and made an untidy search of the vehicle, causing damage which cost the owner £200 to repair.
Katie Jenkins, defending, said: "There is very little I can say. He pleaded guilty to all offences. He has an entrenched drug habit."
