Items from Peacocks were also recovered from the male, who is ‘well-known’ to the officers on Alfreton’s safer neighbourhood team.
A spokesperson said: “Total value [of stolen goods] was approx £200, so not a bad day in the office for us, and a shocking day for him.
“Hopefully he will be re-educated not to come to town as we have the best SNT and he never gets away.”
