He was arrested in law last week by officers inside the Greggs store in Wood Green, north of London, after the site hit seven times.
Verry was immediately arrested and brought before the Highbury Magistrate the next day, where he admitted six charges of theft from the Greggs itself.
The police described him as one of the “most stores” in the capital – and now it was banned from every Greggs port throughout the country in a step to protect employees and agents.
This comes as part of the new Met Police Bistz on the crime of retail, amid high theft rates throughout the country.
“The MET is on processing the most stores like Verry,” said the chief inspector Rav Pathni, a retail crime commander at MET.
“They cause fear of retail workers and insulting with them has a negative impact on societies.”
He continued: “We continue to work with local business owners to investigate theft reports, and to understand fears and use the various tactics of repression, including targeted operations and regular patrols.”
The ban on Verry comes while the sun raises the true range of the theft crisis that paralyzes the high British streets.
Our secret investigation has found Greggs stores all over the country is stripped of inventory in broad daylight, with some stores that suffer from theft every 20 minutes.
On a crowded location in southern London, a thief was seen stuffing cakes and drinks in his pockets before he abandoned the past employees and unpaid exit.
In another terrible clip filmed in Tooting, a courageous director of Greggs attempted to stop the thief who was carrying several bottles of Coca-Cola.
“You do not have all of this,” the fraud tried to leave.
“Yes, I go out with them, see me.”
Customers looked silent, very afraid of intervention.
“Everyone was silent.
“No one said the word. People are afraid now.”

MET later confirmed that it was not alerted to the Tooting incident, which occurred in August, with a highlight of the number of non -reported theft cases.
Our correspondents saw similar scenes playing in branches from Newcastle to Brighton, with thieves helping themselves hot food, drinks and sandwiches without even trying to hide it.
In Stockwell, south of London, one man was arrested on the camera filling his coat with products before seizing two trips of the Donat jam worth 3 pounds for each of them and fleeing during lunch time.
Grab the cookie, then a fist of a bump
The theft we saw in just two days in GregGs Baker in Stockweell South London.
Wednesday, 11.45 am: The man wanders, picks up a box of cakes and walking.
At 1.30 pm: A man lining up his pockets with cakes and products from the refrigerator.
A store worker plead with him to pay. Bigness threatens it and comes out.

In Worthing, West Sussex, two men have entered repeatedly inside the vegetables, helping themselves hot food from the wardrobe.
On the Queens Brighton Road, one of the fraudsters came out with two grooves from the pegs in front of a sudden employee. “Average today”, the employee said when asked about it.
Minutes later, another thief ran out with two trays from the pegs and a sandwich, while there was another masked man who started carrying food while the huge employees shouted after him.
In Southampton, a man entered immediately after the day, and he grabbed four hot foods and said: “Sorry, guys, I am homeless, I need to eat,” before I got out of the door.
In many cases, GregGs is required not to interfere directly with thieves for safety reasons.
One of the informed told us: “They were told not to chase anyone, not engagement. It is a snare for the team.”
Surprisingly, only 350 people have been tried to steal from GregGs in the past six months.
Among them, only 111 received immediate prison or suspended – most of them were long criminal records.
Greggs has started providing additional security measures in the crime stores.
This includes removing self -service refrigerators, placing the cooled food behind the guards, and trying them in some branches.
55 thousand theft every day throughout the United Kingdom
Written by Julia Atharli
Britain faces an epidemic lifting a store with 55,000 accidents per day.
In 2024, retailers cost 2.2 billion pounds, an increase of 1.8 billion pounds in 2023, showing the numbers.
The National Statistics Office says that the crimes reported by the police in England and Wales have jumped by 23 percent to more than 492,000 in the past 12 months.
The lesion is driven by imagining that criminals are rarely arrested or punished.
Graham Wayne, from the British retail union, described the theft as a “main operator of violence and abuse against employees.”
Mr. Wayne said: “The rise in organized crime is a major concern, as gangs strike stores one by one.
“Unfortunately, such a theft is not a crime without a victim; it pays the cost of honest shoppers and destroying customer experience.”
The Labor Party promised to make the retail attack attack a crime and a more stolen treatment of goods of less than 200 pounds.
One of the employees said: “It seems that we are on the front line.
Greggs Roisin Currie confirmed that the company is now using face recognition technology to take thieves and pass photos to the police.
“We now have a system where we can take pictures of people who commit the theft on the store, then it immediately goes to the police,” she told the Sun.
The bakery chain also invests in the body’s cameras for workers and conducts experiments with a 24 -hour aid.
“The theft is an issue at the level of industry and we take it seriously,” said a Greggs spokeswoman.
Our colleagues and customers are still our absolute priority. “
Politicians support the sun’s achievement.
“This is an important and at the appropriate time of the sun, which shows the bad epidemic, which has become bad theft,” said Shadow Minister Robert Jenrik.
“There must be consequences for this terrible crime.”
“The retail workers should not feel insecure at work. For this reason we take strong measures to address the theft of stores and protect the workers,” added the police Minister, Diana Johnson.
She emphasized that the new laws are due to the draft crime and police law, which will create a specific crime to attack the store staff and cancel the 200 pounds sterling threshold, which previously gave low -level stores “effective immunity”.
Meanwhile, MET has released new exciting new footage showing suspects running from stores holding bottles, sandwiches and snacks as part of a broader campaign on the perpetrators of repeated crimes.
Police commanders say they do not stop with Verry, as there may be more prohibitions for other heavy stores, as efforts to restore the regime are raised in the high streets that were beaten in Britain.
