After being remanded in custody over a crime spree, Marco Pierre White Jr., one of the Michelin star chefs, made an appearance in court today.
Following a number of shoplifting and burglaries, Marco Pierre White Jr. was sentenced to prison today.
The Big Brother star appeared at Isleworth Crown Court today via video link as the sentence was handed down, after admitting to a series of offences earlier this year.
After entering a plea to four counts of burglary and one count of criminal damage in court on August 20, the troubled son of the well-known Michelin chef Marco Pierre White, was taken into custody on remand following a crime spree in west London and Bath.
Pierre White Jr., however, told prison guards he did not want to wait and instead went back to his cell when the judge adjourned to consider the sentence. When the jail term was commuted, he was absent. Three years and ten months of prison were given to Marco Pierre White Jr.
Judge Edwards Connell stated that Pierre White Jr. “is accurately described as]a prolific acquisitive offender.” Judge Connell described White’s behavior as a “campaign of dishonesty” and spoke of his “wilful” and “persistent” non-compliance with suspended sentences. He added that the defendant’s abominable record of dishonesty and the fact that he received one or two suspended sentences, respectively, make all of the crimes worse.
He is described as a prolific offender quite appropriately, in my opinion.
He violates court orders while serving suspended sentence sentences, which is unfortunate.
The defendant violates two suspended sentence orders, the first of which was issued for burglaries on November 29, 2024, and he received an 18-month suspended sentence.
After Pierre White Jr violated them by committing the crimes, he also activated 25 weeks of suspended sentences. These will be served in addition to the three-year, five-month prison sentence.
Sean Sullivan, the troubled actor’s attorney, claimed his “long-standing drug addiction” was the cause of the crimes. And the abuses occurred after the treatment facility he was staying at abruptly closed down.
He must steal to keep his habit, according to Mr. Sullivan.
Prior to that, White had admitted to four burglary counts, criminal damage, and a number of theft counts.
Two fluorite crystal lamp towers worth £13,600 were stolen from a west London gallery by Pierre White Junior, who broke into it, causing £27, 000 worth of damage.
The TV star, who has battled drug addiction, also robbed a Barnes and Noble store of £7775 worth of natural rock crystal formations.
Today’s court heard that Pierre White Jr. frequently had a Lime Bike waiting for him when he committed the crimes.
He also made a threat to hurt a Westbourne Grove employee who was stealing £1, 331 worth of hygiene products while working there.
After previously denying a number of the offences, he now made an appearance in court via video link today.
