A PROLIFIC shoplifter who committed 14 different offences over the space of only three weeks has been jailed.
Between Thursday November 14 and Wednesday December 4, Ashley Walmsley stole £650 worth of goods from the Co-Op and One Stop in Hoyland.
The 29-year-old of Kirk View, Hoyland, was arrested on December 4 on suspicion of theft from a shop, and at his interview he refused to comment on his crimes.
