A man has been jailed after shoplifting offences at stores in Bournemouth and Poole.
Nathan Baker, 35, of no fixed abode, was jailed for 15 weeks at Weymouth Magistrates’ Court on Friday 23 October after admitting four shoplifting offences and four breaches of a criminal behaviour order.
Baker had been given an order lasting two years in March 2026, which excluded him from Castlepoint Shopping Centre in Bournemouth.
Police said CCTV showed Baker entering Footlocker at Castlepoint on Tuesday 16 June where he stole 14 items of Nike clothing. He was also recorded entering TK Maxx at Castlepoint on Thursday 30 July where he stole two handbags.
Further offences followed at the Next store at Redlands in Poole on Sunday 2 August and at TK Maxx at Castlepoint on Tuesday 4 August where police said handbags were stolen.
Police Constable Jason Funnell, of the Retail Crime Team, said the case showed that "persistent offenders and breaches of court orders will not be tolerated in Dorset".
He said officers would keep using available powers to disrupt offending and reassure residents and business owners that police are listening and taking action.
