Thief sent to prison for 140 euros of liquor and tobacco!

A repeat offender from Limburg had to appear in court again and was now convicted of stealing food and alcohol. The 43-year-old had stolen goods worth 140 euros from a Rewe store in Diez. In his defense, he cited the mishap of losing his money before paying because he actually wanted to have a barbecue. However, this excuse did not convince the Diez district court, which refused to allow him to go back to prison the Rhein-Zeitung reported.

Strict measures for repeat offenses

The court's decision sends a clear message: repeated crimes will not be tolerated without consequences. The background to the case is the defendant's long criminal record, which ultimately led to his arrest. The thief not only stole beer and schnapps, but also tobacco, pasta and meat. Such acts not only contribute to the statistics, but also put the credibility of the legal system to the test.
