Low life indeed AnnC. Should lock them both up and throw away the key!

well at least he's off the streets for a while

You are quite lucky he got any time at all - prison is expensive and whatever you may hear from the Home Office the reality is that imprisonment for "low level" crime is exceptional. He might have rubbed up the judge very badly as well as the arresting officers.

Where not to go for a night out in Cardiff ( why not go to Brissle ? )

Shoplifting is not an imprisonable offence - if the police bother with it at all the thieves just get a fixed penalty ticket as for , say, speeding but cheaper. A friend with a boutique lost a lot of stock to a "steamer" of shoplifters. She was able to chase them all the way down the Edgeware Road. They were nicked, taken to court where there was plenty of previous. Sentence? Discharge 'cos of assorted legal quibbles. Friend got most of her stock back but in a poor state.

son is not a happy bunny

Sorry to hear that Sweetpea, unfortunately that is the way things are with these type of scumbags..... :-|

11 months be out in 5 the scumbag :-( :-(
he would of got more for shoplifting :-( :-(

daughter in law just phoned me the scum got a measly eleven months :-( :-( :-( :-(

they probley just got engaged to get a lighter sentence
i.e. we have settled down
now it serves no purpose :-( :-(

So sorry to read of this attack on your family, Ann. Horrendous.

well she got 50 hours unpaid work
£60 surcharge
A rehabilitation order and a community order

son's been following them on Facebook - they were engaged but she's now down as "single" and all mention of him from her is erased

his Facebook account has gone dead, so hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday we'll discover what he got

Hope your son and daughter-in-law get the justice they deserve and that they feel the sentences are appropriate. I hope the victims' statements are taken into account when deciding on a sentence.

well she was sentenced on Wednesday and he was sentenced this morning - - my son and daughter in law will be informed of the sentences and I will report back

AnnC, I hope they both get the punishment they deserve and not just a slap on the wrist which often happens to these horrible people.

.Get the pair put away hopefully cruel & callous act by the couple. Love to your Son & Daughter in Law <3

The case is on http://www.thelawpages.com but there appear to be reporting restrictions, possibly due to defendant's age.

I'm thinking of your son and daughter-in-law, Ann.<3

I hope they get the justice they deserve!

sentence is not shown on the website - they will be informed by letter from the police

Hope they get prison....courts can be too lenient these days.

Was sentencing not carried out in open court?

daughter in law just called in - the police will inform her what sentence Amy got and Jay's case is now being heard on Friday
