The shop thefts included stealing goods worth £34.24 from a Morrison’s supermarket in York on May 2. The shop employee later told police Cook was trying to frighten him so that he could escape with the stolen goods. “It is quite dispiriting,” he told Cook. Cook must also pay £50 compensation to the shopworker and £100 compensation each to One Stop shops, Tesco and Morrisons. Many of the thefts were committed in the One Stop shop in Acomb Road, York, which the judge said Cook had targeted.
