Overview
- The 17-year-old entered 15 guilty pleas at Highbury Corner Youth Court on Monday.
- Prosecutors said the raids took £137,342 from Boots over April 2024 to December 2025, plus more than £2,415 from Holland & Barrett by January.
- He had faced 56 Boots counts, with the remaining alleged thefts to be taken into consideration.
- Prosecutor Edward Kalber asked magistrates to send the case to crown court because the losses were large and the same businesses were hit repeatedly.
- Sentencing was set for May 7 and bail bars him from entering Boots or Holland & Barrett in England and Wales unless with a family member.
