A thief who stole from a pharmacy in Barnehurst has been jailed after police released CCTV of him shoplifting.

In February police released footage of Ryan Brooks, of Kale Road, Erith, stealing from Lloyd's Pharmacy in Barnehurst Road.

The footage, taken on January 13, showed Brooks stepping towards a shelf, taking items down, before moving back behind a display to conceal them in a bag.

The public helped police identify Brooks and he was sentenced at Medway Magistrates' Court.

Brooks was jailed for four months and was also ordered to pay £50 compensation.
