McMahon was later arrested on Forest Road, he later pleaded guilty to burglary and was sentenced to 22 weeks behind bars.
Sergeant Karl Browne, of the City Central neighbourhood policing team, said:
“A rapid response by officers on duty allowed us to catch this burglar red-handed and I’m pleased he has also been dealt with swiftly by the courts.
“Commercial burglaries are taken very seriously by the force as we understand the financial impact on businesses and the emotional impact on members of staff.
“McMahon thought he could smash his way through the roof of a supermarket and take what he wanted so I’m pleased he has now been handed a spell behind bars.”
