Scott Allaker, 50, of Beech Avenue, Brentwood, admitted five counts of shop theft after appearing at Southend magistrates' court. Police stopped him on London Road, Wickford, shortly after he stole eight bottles of champagne from BP in Hutton Mount on October 11.

When officers searched his car, they found eight bottles of champagne and a bottle of Prosecco. The total value of stolen items recovered from his vehicle was £1,117.55. The thefts had taken place between August 8 and October 11.

Allaker's five theft offences occurred at multiple locations: three BP service stations at Ingrave Road, Herongate, and on the A13 at Orsett Cock, as well as Hutton Mount and Tesco in Hanging Hill Lane, Brentwood. The stolen goods included meat, wine, Prosecco and champagne. Essex Police body-worn video footage documented the stolen goods found in the passenger footwell of his car.

As a condition of his release, Allaker was banned from entering any BP, B&Q, Sainsbury's or Tesco store in Essex and Suffolk. He remains on conditional bail ahead of his sentencing hearing scheduled for November 25.
