A man who stole thousands of pounds worth of stock from shops across Fenland has to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work.

34-year-old Mitica Baiaram, from Peterborough, was stopped outside Tesco Extra in Wisbech in January.

More than 330 items were found in the boot of his car, worth over one thousand pounds. These included chocolates, cleaning products, children’s lunchboxes, toiletries, alcohol and towels.

Baiaram was also arrested for four other theft offences:

About £900 worth of items from Asda, in North End, Wisbech, on 8 January

About £360 worth of items from Tesco, in Hostmoor Avenue, March, on 22 January

About £500 worth of items from Tesco Extra, in Cromwell Road, Wisbech, on 22 January

PC Fran Plitsch, who investigated, said: “We are working hard to target shoplifters who are stealing from businesses in our towns and cities and bringing misery to customers and employers.

“We urge businesses to continue to report any theft to us so we can ensure people like Baiaram are held accountable for their actions.”
