Watch: Shoplifter jailed for 99 thefts from Boots

A prolific shoplifter who stole more than £100,000 worth of goods from Boots stores across west London has been jailed.

Between May and August, Liam Hutchinson, 31, shoplifted 99 times, often stealing large quantities of electrical items and razors in Chelsea and Kensington.

Police reviewed hundreds of hours of CCTV footage, images and statements to build a strong case of evidence against him.

Hutchinson was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

He was also issued with a Criminal Behaviour Order banning him from every Boots store in the UK for 10 year and also banned from entering the borough of Chelsea and Kensington for the next five years.

Sgt Jack Vine from the Met Police said the sentence "should act as a warning" to those who "terrorise retail workers and cost businesses thousands of pounds".
