VIDEO: Footage shows brazen shoplifters targeting stores in Burnham and Slough

Video footage has revealed the brazen shoplifting of three men who targeted stores across Taplow, Burnham and Slough.

Malcom Hearn, of Grenville Close, was jailed for eight-and-a-half-months at High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court on February 18 for his role in the thefts.

Hearn worked alongside Kieran O’Neill, 54, of Hanbury Close and Aaron Moody, 32, also of Hanbury Close, who both received jail terms in December.

O’Neill received a three-month prison sentence and Moody was handed a three-and-half-month term for stealing approximately £2,350 worth of shop goods.

Footage released from Thames Valley Police has revealed how the trio ransacked shops which police said inflicted ‘significant financial damage’.

Hearn, who was acquitted of one common assault charge, has also been banned from Burnham High Street as part of a Criminal Behaviour Order which will last for two years.

Investigating officer PC Dominik Lennard, part of the Taplow, Burnham and Farnham Neighbourhood team, said: “These prolific shoplifters have caused significant financial damage to the local business community as well as put members of the public and employees in risk of harm’s way.

“With the help of the public, we have been able to gather the evidence that led to this conviction. We’d like to thank the community with the help provided throughout the investigation.”

He added: “Hearn has now been given a Criminal Behaviour Order with conditions he must follow.

“We remain committed to supporting retailers who are impacted by shoplifting by bringing offenders such as Hearn before the courts to face justice.”
