"I'm pleased that the court have taken Alshirredi's offending seriously and imposed a custodial sentence. His actions were self-serving and opportunistic, as he targeted a young family going on holiday."
"In thinking only about himself, he put the family through considerable anxiety and stress, so I hope that they can feel a sense of closure now justice has been served."
Ayoub Alshirredi, 31, was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison for stealing a family's suitcase while they traveled to the airport. The incident occurred on 27 October when the family boarded a train at London Bridge. Alshirredi, who was on the same train, snatched the suitcase as the train approached East Croydon. The family realized the bag was missing upon reaching Gatwick and reported it to British Transport Police. Alshirredi was arrested on 27 February after being identified through CCTV footage.
