Sex offender jailed for breaching court order in Norwich
He was arrested on Saturday.
A sex offender has been jailed after stealing from a shop and breaching a strict court order in Norwich.
Tai Mitchell, 23, had been placed on the Sex Offenders Register in 2021 after being convicted of four counts of sexual activity with a child in Norwich, Norfolk.
The conviction meant Mitchell was subject to Sex Offender Notification Requirements (SONR), which meant he had to keep police informed about his whereabouts and personal details.
Mitchell was recalled to prison in June for two days following a breach after he failed to comply with the supervision order.
When he was released, he further breached the order when he failed to check in with police within three days of his release from custody.
On 29 June, Mitchell also entered a One Stop store in Parnwell, Peterborough, where he filled a bag with items totalling more than £200, before leaving without paying.
He was arrested on Saturday (23 August) and taken to Thorpe Wood Police Station in Peterborough.
At Huntingdon Magistrates' Court on Monday (25 August), Mitchell, of no fixed abode, was jailed for five months after admitting to one count of theft from a shop and one count of failing to comply with sex offenders register notifications.
