A burglar has been jailed after stealing £2,290 worth of stock from a south-east London pub.

Muhedur Minto Khan, 45, admitted to stealing clothing and drinks worth £2,290 from the Prince of Peckham pub in Clayton Road, Peckham.

The theft took place in June 2024.

Khan appeared at Croydon Magistrates' Court on Friday (June 12) where he was sentenced to eight months in prison.

The sentence was ordered to run concurrently as he was already a serving prisoner at the time.



Khan was previously given a one-year sentence in December after he was caught by City of London Police in what they described as a 'Home Alone style' burglary.

CCTV footage showed him entering a building but as he tried to force the door open, the handle broke causing him stumble backwards.

Khan was later seen on CCTV breaking into another building then taking off his socks and putting them on his hands, believing they would cover his fingerprints.

He stole £5,500 worth of laptops and Apple devices but was arrested the next day as it had all been caught on camera.
