A prolific shop thief has been jailed after targeting stores across West Sussex.
Bradie Thomson, 37, of no fixed address, admitted eight shop thefts and one burglary at Crawley Magistrates’ Court on 9 February and was sentenced to six months in prison.
Thomson committed offences across Worthing, Hove, Littlehampton, Sompting, and Angmering between July 2025 and January 2026, including thefts at Co-op, Sainsbury’s, and Iceland stores.
He has 58 previous convictions for 209 offences, mostly theft-related. A Criminal Behaviour Order bans him from entering any Co-op in Sussex, any Sainsbury’s in West Sussex, and from remaining on retail premises if asked to leave for five years.
Adur and Worthing District Commander Chief Inspector James Davidson said: “Thomson was a repeat offender, and we are pleased that he is now serving a custodial sentence. We work closely with businesses to tackle shoplifting and protect the community and staff.”
