A burglar who used a wheelie bin to steal a large quantity of fizzy drinks from a storage unit has been jailed.
Jamie Graham, 43, went to Megadeals in Lincoln Road, Peterborough, on 18 August with three other people.
The gang cut a lock on the storage unit at about 2am and then returned with the wheelie bins to remove the stock.
Graham was identified via CCTV and arrested.
When he was arrested and searched, officers found a small amount of crack cocaine.
Graham, of no known address, admitted burglary and possession of crack cocaine.
On Friday, 22 August, at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court he was jailed for four months.
The other people involved in the burglary have not been identified.
PC Josh Westgate said: “Graham clearly thought nothing of stealing from a local business and the impact it could have on hard working people.
“I’m pleased he was identified and has now answered for his actions.”
