Bexley thief ransacked shop just two days after court let him off the hook
Briefly

Daniel Wodley, a 37-year-old repeat offender, was jailed for one year after he stole £790 worth of tobacco from a Co-op, just two days post his release with a community order for a prior theft. Initially sentenced to community service and mandatory drug rehabilitation for stealing cash and alcohol, Wodley failed to reform and continued his criminal behavior. The magistrates at Bromley Court, noting his dismal criminal history and lack of engagement with rehabilitation, decided a harsher penalty was warranted, reflecting on the challenges of breaking the cycle of recidivism.
Daniel Wodley had previously been given a chance to reform following his initial theft conviction, but just two days later he reoffended, demonstrating his unwillingness to change.
Sentenced to a year in prison, Wodley was criticized by magistrates for failing to take advantage of prior rehabilitation opportunities, underscoring the cycle of recidivism.
His criminal record is characterized as appalling, highlighting Wodley's repeated offenses and his status as a persistent and deliberate offender.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced in addressing habitual criminal behaviors, particularly when individuals do not engage with offered rehabilitation programs.
