A shoplifter put stolen goods, including a DVD player, down his pants. Thieving heroin addict Christopher Bickerton's modus operandi landed him in court on Friday (January 6).
He pleaded guilty to stealing £25 worth of food items from Coop, in Mansfield Road, Nottingham, and to taking a DVD player from the British Heart Foundation, in Long Row Nottingham city centre. He visited the Coop in August last year, selected food and put the items down his trousers.
He then struck at the British Heart Foundation on December 1 last year, popping the DVD player inside his tracksuit bottoms, Nottingham Magistrates' Court heard. In the same month, Bickerton failed to comply with an exclusion order from Nottingham city centre and he was jailed for one month over this.
