Lee Duncan Bowman, 43, of no fixed address, was given a 12-week suspended sentence in October last year, after he entered the butcher’s shop in October last year and stole a till and cash, and also damaged a door, to the value of £420.

But on May 11, police spotted Bowman on Whinney Lane in the town, breaching a restraining order that was imposed by Nottingham Magistrates’ Court in October last year.

Magistrates invoked the 12-week suspended sentence and added a further two weeks for the breach when he appeared before magistrates in Nottingham on May 12 - meaning Bowman will serve a total of 14 weeks in custody.
