Shoplifter who stole £149 of cheese from Newark supermarket during string of shop thefts handed community order at sentencing at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court




A shoplifter who stole £149 worth of cheese, as well as laundry products, fish, and meat, has been sentenced.

Daimien Temple, 44, of Willow Road, Balderton, appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on January 13, where he pleaded guilty to nine shop thefts which occurred during November and December last year.

On one occasion, on November 23, he made off with £149.50 of cheese from the Lincolnshire Co-Op on Albert Street, Newark, and targeted the same store again on both December 2 and 22, stealing £41.15 and £81.10 of meat items respectively.

Temple also twice stole laundry products from One Stop, Fernwood, on November 16 and 17, taking £61 worth of stock on the first occasion and £30.50 on the second.

More of his series of thefts took place at Balderton’s Tesco, where he stole £35 of fish on November 16, £50 of meat and fish on November 19, and £50 of meat and fish again on November 20.

Temple also made off with items of an unknown value from the supermarket on November 9.

He was ordered to pay at total of £199.50 in compensation, which was prioritised over costs, and given a year-long community order for each offence.

Speeding motorist Roger Slattery, 21, of Main Street, Milton, was sentenced at the court on January 20.

The BMW driver exceeded the 70mph limit on the A1 between Weston and Egmanton on October 9, 2023.

Slattery was fined £692, ordered to pay costs of £387, and was disqualified from driving for 12 months.

Neil Harold Smissen, 52, of North Drive, Bilsthorpe, admitted breaching his suspended sentence order when he appeared at the court on January 21.

The suspended sentence had been given on July 9, 2024, for possession of a bladed article, and Smissen failed to attend appointments on November 4 and 11.

The court heard it would be unjust to activate the suspended sentence, so it stands as a 26 week custody sentence suspended by 15 months.

Smissen is to continue his rehabilitation requirements and was also ordered to pay costs of £60.
