Oyas Ali, 53, of neighbouring Barnet Grove, Shoreditch is the subject of a five-year Criminal Behaviour Order ‘CRIMBO’ for repeated offending, disqualifying him from entering the City.
He pleaded guilty to breaching the order on February 24 when he was present in Aldgate High Street - having been banned last July.
Described by police as a “professional thief” Ali was given the CRIMBO along with a fourteen week prison sentence last year.
He regularly made the short journey from his home to Boots, Moorgate in particular, stealing over £1600 worth of goods.
The drug addict already had twenty-five convictions when sentenced for five counts of theft.
After being caught by police in Aldgate High Street Ali was remanded in custody for three weeks for the preparation of a pre-sentence report.
At Westminster Magistrates’ Court he received sixteen weeks imprisonment, suspended for twelve months.
He must also complete 80 hours community service within a year and comply with a drug rehabilitation requirement under the direction of Tower Hamlets Drug Intervention Programme for six months.
Ali must also observe twenty days of a rehabilitation activity requirement and pay a £154 victim surcharge.
District Judge Daniel Sternberg agreed instead of paying the sum Ali could simply be detained within the courthouse until the end of the day.
