- 13 days ago
A repeat shoplifter who left a knife in a shop he stole from has been jailed.
On Sunday afternoon (28 April), Soma Deasley, 36, entered OneStop in St Pauls Road, New England, concealed wine and confectionary in a rucksack and left the shop without attempting to pay.
A customer alerted staff to a knife in the aisle Deasley had just left, and CCTV footage showed the knife fall out of his trousers when he put his bag on his back and walked out.
