Two cousins have been sentenced for a string of thefts from shops across the High Peak and Derbyshire.
Christopher and James Mongan targeted shops in Buxton and Whaley Bridge, as well as other areas of the county - including Baslow, Tibshelf, Matlock and Derby.
In one day alone – 12 December 2020 – they took more than £300 worth of clothing from Matalan in Chesterfield, £550 worth of alcohol and tobacco from the Co-op in Baslow and alcohol and tobacco worth £580 from the Co-op in Whaley Bridge.
The pair also stole from branches of the Co-op in Nottinghamshire, taking hundreds of pounds worth of tobacco and alcohol in November and December 2020.
They appeared at Derby Crown Court on Monday (21 March) for sentencing.
Christopher, 19, whose address was given as a young offenders’ institution, was given a 12-month custodial sentence.
James, 18, of Morley Crescent West, Stanmore, was given a community order where he must carry out 300 hours of unpaid work and a rehabilitation order.
