“We work closely with retailers to identify offenders and take firm action.”

This is not the first time Mr Clark has been in trouble with the law, nor is it the first time he has stolen from the Henley Boots.

In 2025, he was sentenced to four months and two weeks in prison after pleading guilty to three counts of shoplifting at Oxford Magistrates’ Court on November 18.

“So please keep reporting incidents, save CCTV, and let us do the rest. Remember: the only thing you should be lifting in Boots… is your shopping basket.”
