A thief who stole over £18,000 in goods from a local salon was yesterday convicted of burglary.
Harry Francis Camp was arrested by Dorset police when he was found breaking into the salon with accomplices.
Mr Camp went into the property via the rear entrance, and helped in the robbery of hair care products and electrical equipment to the estimated value of £18,989.
Defence lawyer for Mr Camp, Rob Griffiths QC, said ‘my client is in full time work and knows the value of working hard. If he was handed a custodial sentence, it could impact of the lives of his girlfriend and mother – both who are dependant on him.’
Mr Camp has been in full time work at McDonalds for eight years now– obtaining the role of Shift Manager.
Judge J. Fuller said ‘you knew what you were doing was wrong and you have seen the damage your actions have had on the livelihood of a local business. This business has lost clients because of the damage you have caused.’
Mr Camp was handed a suspended sentence of six months, 200 hours community service and was ordered to pay a further £300 compensation to the salon.
