A shoplifter has been jailed after stealing hundreds of pounds worth of Lego from a Nottinghamshire supermarket.

Kieran McGurk stole Lego from Tesco in Hucknall on three occasions before taking other items from Home Bargains and Wilko.

The 30-year-old carried out the thefts between 24 and 31 July before being caught on CCTV.

McGurk, of Windmill Grove, Hucknall, was jailed for 26 months on Wednesday.

He was further sentenced over eight thefts which happened between September and October.

Other stolen items included meat, chocolates, detergent, shampoo and alcohol, police said.

McGurk pleaded guilty to all the shoplifting charges at Nottingham Crown Court.

He also pleaded guilty to one count of harassment causing fear of violence after repeatedly threatening a woman at her home in Hucknall last summer.
