Adam Spencer admitted to a string of thefts, including two separate incidents at the same shop in one morning.

A Pringle thief told police “once you pop, you can’t stop” after his arrest over a series of robberies.

Adam Spencer stole 17 tubes of Pringles in one go during his thieving spree in April and May in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire.

Spencer was spotted on Tuesday by police officers on patrol in the area, who identified him as the suspect they had been looking for over a series of burglaries and shop thefts.

Spencer fled on his bicycle as police tried to arrest him, but was caught by officers chasing him on foot.

Two of the robberies he was wanted for happened on the same morning in the same Iceland shop.

    “The actions of prolific thieves like Spencer can have a really negative impact on communities, who don’t want to see their stores targeted again and again,” PC Dean Fenton, of Nottinghamshire Police, said.

    After his arrest, Spencer, of Northfield Close in Sutton-in-Ashfield, pleaded guilty to two burglaries and three thefts at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
