5 criminals jailed and sentenced in Norfolk last week
Norwich Magistrates’ Court heard that he had stolen money from the cash float in the till and from the locked overnight safe.
James Burrows, mitigating, said the thefts had been driven by his drug use.
Riddleton, of School Street in Needham Market, pleaded guilty to theft and was sentenced to a 12-month community order that requires him to complete 200 hours unpaid work and 10 rehabilitation days.
He was also ordered to pay Subway the full total in compensation.
Mason Jones, 27, got into a police chase after nearly hitting an unmarked police car on Quebec Road on New Year’s Eve before ditching the car and hiding in some bushes.
Norwich Magistrates’ Court was told that after failing a roadside drugs wipe, further tests had found he was 18 times over the limit for MDMA – better known as ecstasy – and three times over for cocaine and cannabis.
Josephine Jones, prosecuting, said the car had belonged to his girlfriend and had been taken from outside her home without permission earlier in the evening and that Jones was already banned from driving at the time.
Jones, of Ashbourne Tower in Norwich, pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified, taking without consent, failing to stop and drug driving.
He also admitted possession with intent to supply over a separate incident in May when he was found with a large quantity of herbal cannabis after being challenged by undercover police officers.
Magistrates suspended a 26-week jail sentence for two years and banned him from driving for four years and three months.
The court heard that he had stabbed 23-year-old Mr Vieira-Balde – who he said had knifed him a month earlier – in the chest with a large zombie knife shortly before 1pm on February 8 last year.
Judge Alice Robinson said although it had been a chance encounter she was convinced he had stabbed the victim “in revenge” and “to teach him a lesson for the previous attack on you”.
Suleimane, formerly of Market Place in Yarmouth, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 23 years.
James Porter, 23, had been travelling on the A1122 near Downham Market in a blue Vauxhall Nova when he drifted into the oncoming lane of traffic and into the path of an HGV.
The two vehicles collided, causing the HGV to veer offside into oncoming traffic.
A BMW was clipped by some debris and a VW Passat was briefly hit by the lorry before it struck an Iveco flatbed truck head on, causing “catastrophic” damage and killing the driver instantly.
Norwich Crown Court heard in the lead-up to the crash Porter was recorded by a dashcam clapping both of his hands together.
He was also seen to be looking into his lap, leaning towards his passenger seat for about seven seconds and on occasion, drifting into the opposite lane of traffic.
Porter of Church Drove, Wisbech, appeared at court for sentence having pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving and causing serious injury by careless driving.
Jailing him for 30 weeks, Judge Alice Robinson said Porter had “repeatedly failed to pay attention to the road”.
Norwich Crown Court was told the phones were identified as being linked to the so-called ‘James’, ‘Tommy’ and ‘A1’ county lines.
Chris Youell, prosecuting, said it was estimated during the time he was holding the phones almost 200g of crack and street heroin had been sold with an estimated street value of between £6,000 and £7,260.
Charles, of Glenwood Road in Tottenham, pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiring to supply Class A drugs and was jailed for two years and six months.
