Crime

Twelve weeks in jail for stealing computer tablets from McDonald’s

Published

on

A HAVERFORDWEST man has been jailed after stealing two computer tablets from the counter at the town’s Mcdonald’s restaurant.

Asa Wandelt entered the Haverfordwest branch of Mcdonalds on April 7, walked up to the counter and placed a computer tablet valued at £150 inside his jacket.  CCTV footage then showed Wandelt walking out of the restaurant.

Once again on April 16 Wandelt returned to Mcdonalds and stole yet another computer tablet which had been placed on the counter.  Once again, he concealed it inside  his coat before leaving the restaurant.

This week Wandelt appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates Court where he pleaded guilty to two charges of theft.

Probation officer Julie Norman said the offences were committed whilst Wandelt was the subject of a post-sentence supervision following his release from prison for previous offences.

”He’s disengaged with services over the past few weeks and is not addressing his drug use nor his misbehaviour, issues” she said.

Ms Norman went on to say that Wandelt was recently evicted from the Silverdale hostel in Johnston where he had been granted emergency accommodation following his release from custody.  His eviction was the result of his behavioural issues.

District Judge Mark Layton sentenced Wandelt to 12 weeks in custody.  He was also ordered to pay a total of £300 compensation to Mcdonalds, a £134 court surcharge and £85 costs.
