HE WAS HOMELESS AT TIME OF THEFTS FROM CO-OP AND JOHN LEWIS
A MAN tackled by shop security staff as he tried to make off with £31 worth of fish fillets has admitted he also stole a £320 John Lewis handbag seven months earlier.
Damien Cracknell, 24, told Leicester magistrates he was homeless at the time of the thefts, and said that was the reason for them.
He also pleaded guilty to racially abusing a police officer during an arrest in December last year and having cannabis on him during the fish theft.
He said he used cannabis to help with his ADHD and depression.
