Thanks largely to your response and help following a shoplifting appeal last July, we have now another court result to bring you.

This time, a 43-year-old man from Christchurch has been ordered to pay £125 compensation after pleading guilty to stealing meat from a New Milton store.

David Ian Edward Gray, of no fixed abode, was sentenced at Poole Magistrate’s Court on Thursday 27 February.

It follows an incident at Ferndene Farm Shop, Bashley Cross Road on Monday 1 July 2024.

Thank you as always for your continued support with our appeals. We'll try to bring you as many updates as we can on these.

Please keep sharing information with us where you can.

As we often say, we can't do what we do, in bringing offenders to justice, without all of you.
