43-year-old Guy Sullivan, was jailed for 16 months for the burglary of a Tesco store in Plymouth which the judge described as “an offence committed in the context of public disorder”. Prosecutor Lewis Aldous said Sullivan took 12 bottles of alcohol with a value of £281.
CCTV footage played to the court showed Sullivan using a rock to smash glass in the shop’s door, climbing through then picking up a basket. He climbed over the tills and took bottles of alcohol from shelves behind, placing them into the basket on Monday evening.
Ms Grosvenor, for Sullivan, described it as “opportunist” and “impulsive” and said there had been “no evidence before the court today to say he was playing a role in riots”. She said the Tesco store was “not near the rioting, it’s 10pm and out of town”.
The judge told Sullivan, who admitted at an earlier hearing to burglary: “It was an offence committed in the context of public disorder. It doesn’t mean you were engaged in public disorder – it means it happened in that context.”
