Outrageous CCTV footage shows prolific shoplifter lurking outside store before brazenly pinching stacks of Celebrations
CCTV footage has captured a prolific shoplifter lurking outside a store before brazenly pinching a stack of Celebrations.
Rebecca Goodchild has been jailed for 21 months after being sentenced for numerous offences including 93 shoplifting crimes.
On top of the shoplifting crimes, she was also sentenced for 30 breaches of a Community Behaviour Order, two assaults on security guards and three failures to appear in court between June and September 2025.
The police have shared CCTV footage from one of her pilfering expeditions, showing the shocking moment the 29-year-old boldly steals multiple tubs of Celebrations from a store in Havant, after lurking outside.
District Commander, CI Matt Moss said: “We won't tolerate shoplifting in Havant and we will continue to pursue the people who target businesses small and large. I encourage our business community to keep reporting incidents to us so we can put together cases like this that enable outcomes at court like this.”
Force lead for Business Crime, CI Marcus Cator, said: “This case shows the success of working in partnership with @UKPAC, in protecting retail victims and getting positive court support and outcomes for cases, where repeat offenders persist in targeting these communities for their criminal activities”
