Joseph Carrigan, 43, was sentenced to ten months in custody at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (March 26).
He had pleaded guilty to two thefts, criminal damage, common assault, breaching a criminal behaviour order and a racially aggravated public order offence.
One of the thefts was from H&M in Bromley on February 18 when he stole £161 worth of candles and diffusers.
The second theft was from Co-op on Randlesdown Road in Bellingham eight days later.
Carrigan was already banned from every Co-op store in the country at the time of the theft.
Magistrates said Carrigan has a flagrant disregard for court orders so a prison sentence could be the only outcome.
