Jail term for Lidl shoplifter who said he was 'going to continue committing offences'
A man caught shoplifting in Larne who told Probation he was "going to continue committing further offences" has been given a four months jail term.
The comment by 66-year-old Bruno Bruni, of Gannet Way in Carrickfergus, was described as "very brazen" by District Judge Nigel Broderick.
Antrim Magistrates' Court, sitting in Ballymena, was told that the defendant had stolen wine worth £20 from the Lidl store on October 4 this year and groceries worth £44 on October 8.
The court was informed that defendant had re-offended whilst being on suspended sentences.
Bruni was released on £500 bail pending appeal with a condition not to enter Lidl in Larne.
