A shoplifter who twice stole candles from the same store has been sent to prison.

Wigan magistrates were told that 24-year-old Jake Beamish, of no fixed address, had committed the crimes while already serving a suspended sentence and so the custody was this time imposed.

The hearing was told he had stolen Yankee candles from TK Maxx on January 8 and February 22.

He was given a total sentence of 16 weeks behind bars.
