Jail beckons for ‘professional shoplifting couple’ who targeted Telford from Birmingham

Telford Magistrates Court learned that Andreea Tobosaru and Ionut Bucurescu stole several health and beauty items, Nicorette products and razors during three separate attacks on Morrisons in Telford.

They disputed the value of the goods taken on August 5, after the prosecutor claimed it was valued at £735 when they took toothbrushes, brush heads and razors. They also stole from the store on July 2 and August 15.

Victoria Maher, prosecutor at Telford said Tuesday that the couple had made no attempt to pay and offered no explanation for their actions.

She added that they had a ‘history of crimes of dishonesty’, had made attempts to conceal the goods and that there had been a degree of planning.
