A serial shoplifter has been jailed after being caught on camera stealing nearly £4,000 worth of clothes from the same shop.
Zenith Lawrence, 24, targeted the store four times.
On each visit, he calmly walked out carrying goods worth a total of £3,800.
But his misdeeds were caught on camera each time.
He has now been locked up after admitting to the high-value thefts.
He was caught after being spotted British Transport Police officers on patrol at St Pancras International railway station, London.
CCTV checks showed Lawrence entering the All Saints store there and taking two jumpers and two leather jackets, worth almost £1,300.
Another officer then identified Lawrence as a suspect for a further three offences, at the same shop.
On 4 December he snatched a jumper from the edgy British clothing brand, then on 15 January he stole two women’s leather jackets and a bag.
The brazen thief returned two hours later and stole three more men’s leather jackets.
Lawrence didn’t answer any of the questions put to him during police interview.
However, the damning CCTV footage and witness statements led to him being charged.
Lawrence, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to four counts of theft and was jailed for 12 weeks at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, as reported by, Need To Know.
After the sentencing, BTP’s Inspector Ben Payne, said: “I’d like to recognise the awareness and proactivity of our officers in identifying Lawrence, then quickly working to link him to further offences.
“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, sending a clear message that theft on the railway will not be tolerated.”
