SHOP despatch manager Andrew Oxby has been jailed after twice breaching a community service and probation combination order.

Oxby, 20, of Tylers Road, Hazlemere, had originally been sentenced in September 2000 to 100 hours community service coupled with 18 months probation for handling stolen goods.

But after twice breaching the order, Oxby ran out of second chances and was given six months detention at Aylesbury Crown Court last Monday.

Oxby was first sentenced at crown court on two charges of handling stolen CDs and electrical goods.

Prosecutor Tim Ashmole told the court Oxby had committed an initial breach and was fined in November by magistrates.

Earlier this year, Oxby committed a second breach, which he admitted but said was due to various reasons, including ill-health.

Martin Lahiffe, mitigating, said Oxby's attitude had been criticised by the probation service but he had since changed his lifestyle and was working as a despatch manager at a store in High Wycombe.

Judge David Morton Jack said that Oxby committed further offences within days of the second order and failed to comply with either elements of the order.

The judge said: "You took, as the probation officer says in her report, a laissez-faire attitude and only a custodial sentence can be justified today."
