A CARLISLE Crown Court judge is to sentence a 27-year-old Carlisle man who has admitted six shoplifting offences and breaching a suspended sentence order.

Stefan Sidney Cartwright, whose address was given as Lindisfarne Street, Carlisle, entered guilty pleas to the following seven offences when he appeared at the city’s Rickergate Magistrates' Court:

  • Stealing alcohol worth £171 from Sainsbury’s in Penrith on April 14.
  • Stealing alcohol worth £218 from Booths in Penrith on April 18.
  • Stealing alcohol worth £238 from the same store on April 20.
  • Stealing alcohol and milk worth £142 from Sainsbury’s on March 28.
  • Stealing razors worth £95 from Sainsbury’s in Penrith on March 1.
  • Stealing razors valued at £102 from the same store on August 23 last year.
  • And breaching a suspended sentence order that was imposed in September last year for illegally possessing a knife.

District Judge John Temperley sent the case to Carlisle Crown Court for a sentencing hearing which will be on June 17.

The defendant was granted bail. A second offender, involved in some of the thefts admitted by Cartwright, was sentenced at the magistrates' court.
