George Stevenson: Stevenson forced the lock and pinched the £5 purse – unaware that it was part of a police sting
This thief was caught on camera as he stole a purse from an undercover police car - for the second time.

George Stevenson, 16, was already serving a suspended sentence for stealing a sat nav from another covert police car.

Sentencing Stevenson to a six-week jail term plus the previously suspended 32-week sentence, Judge Simon Darwall-Smith branded him a "serial thief".

He said: "You are a serial thief, particularly from motor cars. The public deserves as much protection from your activities that the court is able to give.

"Individually the offence was relatively minor, but it's the quantity that makes it serious. Again and again and again you are committing offences against people's property."

Canterbury Crown Court heard Stevenson spotted the purse on the seat of the police owned, silver Peugeot 'honeypot' parked in Ashford, Kent, on October 6.

Stevenson forced the lock and pinched the £5 purse – unaware that it was part of a police sting and he was being filmed in perfect technicolour by a covert camera hidden inside the vehicle.
