A serial shoplifter has been jailed again after he stole from Boots in Greenwich.
Joshua Chambers stole £203 worth of vitamins and supplements from the chemists last Wednesday (October 23).
The 41-year-old thief was jailed for eight weeks at Bexley Magistrates’ Court on Friday (October 25).
Chambers had only recently been released from a three month prison sentence he received in June.
On that occasion he had stolen 12 Easter eggs from Bexleyheath Asda.
Chambers was also previously jailed for 16 weeks in 2019 for chocolate thefts in Sidcup and Welling.
On that occasion a police officer was on patrol on Bellegrove Road when he noticed a man being chased by Tesco staff.
PC Robinson stopped and searched Chambers and found he was in possession of five boxes of Ferrero Rocher.
In total between February and July 2019 Chambers stole nearly £1,000 worth of wine and chocolate from The Co Op at The Oval and the Co Op in Blendon Road.
