- 6 months ago
A brazen shoplifter who was caught on CCTV raiding Sainsbury's in front of shoppers and staff has been banned from EVERY branch in the UK.
Joseph Tait, 38, repeatedly targeted two supermarkets earlier this year where he stole £2,500 worth of meat and cheese.
A court heard he also helped himself to drinks and snacks from the stores in Heaton, Newcastle.
Shoppers and staff reported Tait to police who scoured CCTV to catch him stealing from the stores.
Northumbria Police released footage of Tait ransacking the shelves of a Sainsbury's in Chillingham Road in Heaton.
The clip shows him grabbing armfuls of chilled food from the fridges while shocked shoppers watch in disgust.
Tait has now been barred from entering all 1,400 branches of Sainsbury’s in the country until October 2025.
