A serial thief who was jailed for targeting a popular Watford restaurant has been given more prison time after stealing from there again.
James Young snuck into the staff room at Italian eatery L'artista on January 16 and stole £35.
He had previously been jailed for 42 weeks in September for nabbing a purse from its staff cloakroom – one of 12 offences he admitted.

As well as again targeting L’artista, the 41-year-old recently pleaded guilty to stealing a Beryl bike and being found with a class A drug in Watford last August.
Young, formerly of Epsom Road, Watford, was sentenced at Hatfield Magistrates’ Court to 12 weeks’ prison and ordered to pay £128.
During his previous stealing sprees in June and July, the 41-year-old stole wireless headphones worth £121 and £49 from Atria Watford’s Primark.
He also took £72 worth of toothpaste and £128 of chocolates from Poundland, as well as weighing scales, a wine cooler and two sets of cutlery from Lakeland.
