Tesco at Inverness Shopping Park hit by shoplifting gang
A Romanian man who went on a shoplifting spree at an Inverness supermarket while working with a gang stole over £400 worth of goods.
The thefts took place at Tesco in Inverness Shopping Park, Eastfield Way on July 23 last year and CCTV filmed 21-year-old Cristian Gidu, of Millcroft Road, Cargrain, Cumbernauld and others placing toiletries, household items, beauty products and over-the-counter medicines into a big bag.

Fiscal depute Martina Eastwood told Inverness Sheriff Court there was no recovery.
Gidu admitted the theft and although he is currently on a community payback order with unpaid work imposed at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court last year, Sheriff Gary Aitken proceeded to sentence and fined him a total of £680.
Defending, Kevin Hughes said: "He has no other matters outstanding and he is no longer associating with the others involved."
