UPDATE: A notorious shoplifter from Bristol, identified as Brandon Weyman, is now behind bars after being handed a one-year prison sentence on November 25, 2025. This development comes just days after Weyman was warned that another offense would land him in jail, highlighting a troubling disregard for the law.
Weyman, aged 32 and residing on Clouds Hill Road in St George, was initially given a 12-month jail term suspended for 18 months on November 20 for 27 theft charges. These offenses were committed between October 20 and November 18, 2025, targeting various retailers across Bristol.
Despite the opportunity to avoid incarceration, Weyman was caught reoffending within days. He pleaded guilty to an additional five thefts and a breach of a Criminal Behaviour Order, leading to an extra four months in prison, which will run concurrently with his existing sentence.
Neighbourhood inspector Richard Jones stated, “Because Weyman has a flagrant disregard for people and their property, he has reoffended during the operational period of his suspended sentence and has therefore gone straight to prison.” This case underscores the commitment of police to tackle repeat offenders relentlessly.
Authorities report that Weyman’s rapid return to court within a week of his previous sentencing illustrates the ongoing efforts of the neighbourhood team to protect local retailers and their staff, who have continuously suffered from his actions. Avon and Somerset Police are determined to ensure that justice is served and that the community remains safe from prolific offenders like Weyman.
With this urgent update, the Bristol community is reminded of the serious implications of shoplifting and the legal measures being implemented to deter such behavior. As the situation develops, local residents are encouraged to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
