Shoplifter who had booze spree jailed

Tuesday, 11 June 2024 07:43

A Douglas man has been jailed after a trio of shoplifting offences.

40-year-old Craig William Tiernan of Harris Promenade stole Jack Daniels, Prosecco, and Raspberry Sourz during a mini spree at Port Erin Shoprite and Ellan Vannin Fuels on Peel Road in Douglas in January.

The offences put him in breach of a suspended sentence imposed last year for refusing a breathalyser, resisting arrest, speeding, and having no driving licence or car tax.

Tiernan was jailed for three and a half months by Deputy High Bailiff Rachael Braidwood.
