A Barmouth man has been sentenced to prison after stealing goods worth £56 from a local Co-op store.

Kenneth Adam Hyde, 48, of Barmouth Promenade, was caught on CCTV taking items without payment on January 23rd. He appeared at Caernarfon Magistrates Court on Tuesday where he admitted to the theft.

Due to breaching his existing licence conditions, Hyde will remain in custody until December 2026, serving a two-week sentence for the shoplifting offence followed by his remaining licence period.

District Inspector Iwan Jones emphasised the seriousness of retail crime: “Retail theft is not a ‘victimless crime’ and has a genuine impact on the businesses and staff affected by it.”

“We will continue to work with partners and residents protect those working in the retail sector.”
