A thief who stole two bicycles from outside a railway station has been sent to prison.
Dale McGinn, 33, stole two bikes, one worth £300 and another worth £350, from outside Aylesbury railway station on the same day.
McGinn, who previously lived in West Wycombe Road in High Wycombe but is now of no fixed address, stole the bikes jointly with another person on June 24 last year.
For two counts of theft, McGinn was jailed at Wycombe Magistrates' Court on July 14.
He was given eight weeks because a magistrate said McGinn has a "flagrant disregard for court orders" and because he has a record of previous offending.
The overall length of his prison sentence is now 30 weeks because a previous suspended sentence has been activated.
He has also been ordered to pay £100 in compensation to one of the bike's owners, and £150 to the other.
