Anderson was first busted in a stolen vehicle on Comries Rd in February, before being caught in another one the following month. By June 11, Anderson and his partner were in Levin, and in The Warehouse, where the pair stole two bucket hats and a long-sleeved shirt, valued at $50. He walked to a chiller and was handed a frozen crayfish by his partner. As they walked down the aisle, he “concealed” it inside the front of his shorts and jacket. She took a starting point of 15 months’ prison before allowing 35% in discounts, and jailed him for 11 months.
