Patrick Verry, a 33-year-old serial shoplifter, has received a banning order from all Greggs locations after being caught stealing multiple beverages in a store in north London. Following his guilty plea to six theft counts at Highbury Magistrates' Court, his case highlighted retail crime's repercussions. Another prolific shoplifter, Winston Wright, was banned from several major retailers and sentenced to three months in jail after stealing over £2,500 worth of goods. The Met Police emphasizes their commitment to combatting theft and enhancing safety for retail workers and communities.
The Met is focused on tackling the most prolific shoplifters like Wright and Verry. They cause fear to retail workers and their offending has a negative impact on communities.
Verry pleaded guilty to six counts of theft from the same store at Highbury Magistrates' Court on Friday.
Wright stole more than 2,500 worth of goods from stores in Greenwich over four months; he has since been banned from entering Greenwich for three years.
The Met Police said they secured a banning order against Winston Wright, who was recognized by an officer after being stopped in Deptford High Street.
