A man has been jailed for theft and other offences in high street stores.

Fardin Farji, 29, of Christchurch Road, Worthing, was charged with stealing a charger from The Range in Ham Road, Worthing, as well as four coats worth £194 from TK Maxx in Liverpool Road in October. 

Farji was also charged with entering TK Maxx in Liverpool Road – which was in breach of a criminal behaviour order – on July 25, October 13 and 14 and theft of a pedal cycle worth £350 from Goring Road on August 20

At Crawley Magistrates' Court the 29-year-old was sentenced to 24 weeks’ imprisonment.

Inspector Sharon Sawyer, of the Adur and Worthing neighbourhood policing team, said: “Farji was given a criminal behaviour order in August 2021 in an attempt to curb his offending and get him on the right track. The CBO was also designed to protect local businesses from financial loss, as he had a history of shoplifting in the town.

“Farji was warned that failure to comply with the conditions of the CBO could land him in prison, and that is ultimately what has happened.

“I’d like to thank the numerous victims and witnesses who came forward and enabled us to gather the evidence to secure this conviction.”
