A man has been jailed after he stole baby milk from a Sainsbury’s in Charlton. 

Ryan Gregory Brook, 34, stole £150 worth of baby milk from the shop on Church Lane, near Charlton station, on November 11 last year. 

He also stole £65 worth of laundry detergent from Wilkos in Bexleyheath on April 20. 

Brook, of Cumbrian Avenue in Bexleyheath, pleaded guilty to both offences and was given a 28-week prison sentence. 

Last Monday (July 17) Bexley Magistrates’ Court heard that Brook was already serving suspended sentences for stealing meat from Co-Op on two other occasions. 

The court decided that because Brook hadn’t responded to previous community penalties, a period of imprisonment was necessary.
