A THIEF has been jailed for 26 weeks - just five days after being given a suspended prison sentence.
Shane Borrett, 32, stole DVDs worth £60 from W H Smith because of problems with his benefits, Barnsley Magistrates' Court was told.
His co-accused John Boy Shaw, 34, was coaxed to go on the shoplifting expedition, Jayne Ormrod, prosecuting, said.
Philip Howard, defending, said Borrett was living in a skip and Shaw was staying in a partly-built house. Both of them had benefits problems.
Borrett and Shaw, of no fixed address, admitted shoplifting.
Shaw was given an eight week prison sentence, suspended for a year, and ordered to pay £30 in compensation.
