Man jailed after goods stolen from pub

A man has been jailed after he stole £600-worth of goods from a pub in Newcastle-under-Lyme.

Joseph Robinson, 47, of Newcastle-under-Lyme, was sentenced to 24 weeks behind bars at the North Staffordshire Justice Centre yesterday (Wednesday 24 September) after he pleaded guilty to burglary other than dwelling – theft. 

At around 2am on Tuesday 2 September, Robinson broke into The Arnold Machin, Ironmarket, and stole around £600-worth of goods. 

PC Heather Bolam, of the Newcastle-under-Lyme local policing team, said: “Robinson caused damage and stole a significant amount of goods from a local business in the town, and I am pleased he has received a custodial sentence for his offending.”
