Steven Regan, a drug addict with 25 previous convictions, has been sentenced to 15 months in jail for breaking into multiple establishments and stealing thousands of pounds worth of items. The break-ins have had a significant impact on the affected businesses.
Drug addict Steven Regan smashed his way into Face Perfect Clinic on Park Square on September 16, stealing around £5,000 worth of items, including iPads. But the tracker took the owner right to Regan’s address on Kingston Terrace. Having been arrested, interviewed and bailed, he went back to the shop just nine days later and broke in again, taking another £3,500 worth of equipment.
He has 25 previous convictions for theft and similar offences. A victim impact statement was read to the court by the owner of Face Perfect Clinic who said the break-ins had a major impact on the business, and the losses incurred could lead to redundancies. Mitigating, Benjamin Whittingham said the break-ins were “unsophisticated” and that he had entered early guilty pleas. He said: “He was suffering from drug addiction at the time.
