Jake Jones was jailed after he was caught on CCTV carrying stolen wedding dresses through Croydon town centre.

The 20-year-old of Balfour Road, South Norwood, was jailed for four years three months after pleading guilty to non-residential burglary, violent disorder, handling stolen goods and possession of a bladed article.

CCTV footage caught Jones rioting in Centrale shopping centre, targeting House of Fraser, Orange and attempting to burgle Jane Norman.
