Michael Cash, 34, has been jailed for five months after crimes were deemed “so serious” by the judge.

Cash, of Nanny Marr Crescent, Darfield, was caught after stealing £1,000 worth of alcohol from a supermarket and using a child to help him commit his crimes.

PC Carla Wild, who was the officer in charge of the case, said: “Cash’s offending was sophisticated, planned and prolific.”
