This fast-paced investigative work allowed us to arrest, charge, and bring him before the courts in just two days. His imprisonment demonstrates our determination to tackle theft across the railway network. By using targeted patrols, intelligence and thorough investigative work, we are ensuring offenders are identified quickly and held accountable,"

On December 4, he stole a jumper, while on 11 days later he pinched two women's leather jackets and a bag."
