Garvey Powell and Carmen Sinclair, both from Hackney, repeatedly stole wine from the Old Street Tesco Express over a period of several months, accumulating significant thefts. Their activities were captured on CCTV, leading to their arrest after officers reviewed extensive footage. Powell received a nine-month sentence and a five-year Criminal Behaviour Order, while Sinclair awaited sentencing. The local police emphasized the detrimental effects of shoplifting on businesses and community safety, underlining their commitment to combating such crimes in London, which cost retailers substantial amounts in lost stock and security measures.
"We know shoplifting has a huge impact on businesses and also fuels other crime and anti-social behaviour. This outcome demonstrates the commitment of officers."
"This pair's offending cost Tesco many thousands of pounds in stock and tens of thousands in additional security measures, and we're pleased our investigation has brought them to justice."
