Sergeant Dan Baines of the Eastleigh Neighbourhood Policing Team said: "I'm pleased that Grundy has been placed behind bars, unable to commit further crimes.

"I hope this outcome offers the business in question some comfort and reassurance, safe in the knowledge that this offender is no longer able to steal from them.

"This case should once again demonstrate our commitment to seriously tackling and dealing with thieves.

"We won’t tolerate these crimes in our area and will continue working tirelessly, alongside our local businesses, to arrest, charge and bring offenders before the courts."
