A Blackburn teenager has been fined and made subject to a curfew for pleading guilty to serial shoplifting bottles of alcohol from two Booths supermarkets, reports stated today (10).
Kai Rayson, 19, of Adelaide Terrace in Blackburn, last week was charged with two counts of theft. The offences took place on consecutive days in August this year, reports said.
In one of the incidents, Rayson is said to have stolen various bottles of spirits, to the value of £99.50 from a Booths store in Penwortham. The following day, he travelled to Longridge and stole four bottles of spirits, to the value of £109.50 from another Booths store.
The teenager has been fined with £208 and was made subject to an electronic curfew for six weeks.
