A persistent City of London shoplifter has been locked-up and banned from entering the Square Mile for two years.
Mohamad Ahmadpour, 37, nicked umbrellas, cans of Red Bull, perfume and boxes of chocolates.
At Westminster Magistrates' Court he received twenty-two weeks imprisonment and a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO), which carries the exclusion order.
Ahmadpour, of Colindale, Barnet, was convicted of multiple thefts from shops in the City of London and two common assaults.
On March 17, he stole two bottles of perfume from TK Maxx in the City.
He was chased down the street by loss prevention officers and when the security guards detained him, Ahmadpour punched one of them in the chest.
He was also convicted of an assault on February 27, when he spat at an enforcement officer from the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
Detective Sergeant Helen Bentley, of the City of London Police, said: “Mohamad Ahmadpour was a persistent thief in the City of London.
“We hope that this CBO will give reassurance to businesses, retail staff and also members of the public who shop in the area, as well as act as a deterrent to others thinking of criminal activity.
“A CBO will help us protect businesses and communities from various offences including theft and anti-social behaviour.
“We take such offences very seriously and this is a warning that will bring those committing crimes in the City to justice.”
Ahmadpour was also found guilty of stealing cans of Red Bull from a Co-op store on February 20.
He was also spotted by two City of London Police officers stealing boxes of chocolates from Sainsbury’s on April 12 and was arrested
He also stole eight umbrellas from Cards Galore on May 17.
