Mark Manley, 35, was sentenced to six months imprisonment when he appeared in custody at Croydon Magistrates Court.
He pleaded guilty to theft of PPE and assault, which resulted in the security guard suffering facial injuries.

Items taken included masks, paper suits and hand gel.
Some of the items were rendered no longer usable due to contamination.
