A SERIAL shoplifter has been banned from a Waitrose store for a year.
Aleksandr Hartanovics, 47, targeted the Cirencester store in Sheep Street multiple times over a span of weeks, stealing alcohol, flowers and food valued at more than £200.
Hartanovics pleaded guilty to five shoplifting charges at Cheltenham Magistrates Court, which imposed a community order until August 27 next year.
As part of the order, he is excluded from entering Waitrose in Cirencester for 12 months.
Hartanovics, of Farrell Close, Cirencester, stole wine worth £21 and food valued at £32 on July 28. On August 3, he returned to the store and stole £35 worth of wine.
Three days later, on August 6, he stole wine valued at £34.
Previously, on July 23, he took alcohol and flowers worth £100.
Besides the exclusion order, a 12-day rehabilitation activity was issued.
Hartanovics must also pay £192 in compensation to Waitrose and £85 costs.
