A prolific shoplifter has been jailed after beaching a court order.

Moazam Ali was subject to a community behaviour order (CBO) but was hauled back to court after breaching the order. Burnley and Padiham Police said the beach happened when he twice entered stores in Burnley and stole items.

Ali, of Leyland Road, Burnley, was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison by magistrates on Friday (June 28). Officers shared a mugshot picture of the defendant on social media following the hearing as a warning to other would-be offenders.

Trump seeks to set aside New York hush money verdict hours after Supreme Court ruling
Donald Trump’s lawyers on Monday asked the New York judge who presided over his hush money trial to set aside his conviction and delay his sentencing, scheduled for next week. The letter to Judge Juan M. Merchan cited the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling earlier Monday and asked the judge to delay Trump’s sentencing while he weighs the high court’s decision and how it could influence the New York case, according to the letter obtained by The Associated Press. The lawyers argue that the Supreme Court’s decision confirmed a position the defense raised earlier in the case that prosecutors should have been precluded from introducing some evidence they said constituted official presidential acts, according to the letter.
