Man Jailed for Repeated Gas Station Thefts

0:00On March 23rd, a 34-year-old man with no fixed address has been jailed for repeatedly stealing from the same gas station store. Ryan Keely was nabbed by London police on February 25th at a BP garage on Lehigh Road. Staff spotted him slipping out with unpaid food and drinks and tipped off officers waiting nearby. When confronted, Keely bolted but was caught after a brief chase. The stolen goods, worth 85 pounds, were recovered right away. Further check showed he was already wanted for jumping back to prison, breaking a behavior order, and two more thefts from that exact store. Police pulled together solid evidence from security cameras and staff accounts, highlighting the real-strain repeat thieves put on local shops and neighborhoods. Met leaders praised the quick work, noting it came from brand new recruits trained to hit community crimes hard. Keely faced three shoplifting charges and three for ignoring his court order. He got convicted the very next day at Bromley Magistrate's Court and sentenced to 16 weeks
