A man has been jailed for theft and assault at Gatwick Airport’s North Terminal. 

Stewart Hicks had been prohibited from entering the Airport following antisocial behaviour, but he went to the North Terminal in the early hours of 4th May where he stole items from Marks and Spencer.  Hicks punched a member of staff when they challenged him. He was arrested and remained abusive towards police officers and airport security, ignoring the warnings to stop. 

Hicks appeared before Crawley Magistrates Court on 5th May where he admitted shoplifting, assault, assaulting an emergency worker and breaching a prohibition not to enter Gatwick Airport.
