A prolific Pembroke shoplifter has been handed a suspended prison sentence in court this week.

Twenty-seven-year-old Adam Vivian Barlow, of Colley Court, Moknton, pleaded guilty to his latest theft offence when he appeared at Haverfordwest Magistrates Court on Tuesday.

Magistrates heard how on March 9, Mr. Barlow stole a 50ml bottle of Britney Spears Intimate Fantasy perfume, to the value of £30, from his local Boots store.

Mr. Barlow was committed to prison for 4 weeks suspended for 12 months, due to his recent history of committing similar offences.

He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £85 and a £115 victim surcharge.
