Man jailed after assaulting two men and stealing chocolates at Broadway store

Must read

Alexander Taylor, of Thornes Road in Wakefield, was jailed for eight weeks earlier this month.

Court documents say the five offences were “so serious that only a custodial sentence can be justified”.

The offending occurred at The Broadway in the city centre in July and September.

On July 12, the 26-year-old stole chocolate to the value of £100 from Sainsbury’s.

A day later, he again stole chocolate from the store. This time to the value of £50.

Also on July 13, Taylor assaulted a man by beating in the Sainsbury’s.

Taylor returned to the store on September 17 to three jars of coffee, to the value of £18.75, and assaulted another man.

He was sentenced at Bradford Magistrates Court on Thursday, September 19.

Taylor was ordered to pay £50 in compensation to both victims.
