Jailed: Thief targeted Sandwell spa while serving suspended prison sentence
A man who stole a charity collection box from a spa in Sandwell has been jailed.
Rio Spa and Beauty in Bearwood Road, Smethwick, was targeted in February 2020 by Michael Gadsby, who took an iPhone, £140 in cash and a charity collection box.
The 29-year-old pleaded guilty to one count of burglary when he appeared at Preston Magistrates Court in Lancashire on Friday, May 5.
Gadsby, of Elmstead in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, was jailed for eight weeks.
The court noted that the reason for his imprisonment was because his crime was "so serious because the offence was aggravated by the defendant's record of previous offending", and "committed during the operational period of a suspended sentence".
He was also ordered to pay £200 compensation.
