A prolific shoplifter who repeatedly ignored a court order banning her from Co-op and One Stop stores has been jailed for 44 weeks after a string of thefts across Sussex.

Police say a vehicle was reversed into the Co-op store in Lindfield High Street during the early hours of Thursday morning.

Arron Jones, 32, carried out thefts across West Sussex and admitted 15 charges in court.

The 34-year-old, who has 15 previous convictions, was identified on CCTV.
