A man who stole nearly £50-worth of instant coffee from a High Wycombe petrol station has been jailed.
Stephen Dorane, 51, stole Nescafe instant coffee to the value of £49.05 from the BP garage in West Wycombe Road on February 20 this year.
At the time he stole the coffee, Dorane, of Montem Lane in Chalvey, Slough, was already subject to a suspended jail sentence for battery and theft.

After his case was heard at Wycombe Magistrates' Court on May 13, he was imprisoned for a total of 14 weeks.
His original suspended sentence was activated, and he was jailed for four weeks concurrent for the theft and two weeks concurrent for failing to surrender to custody at High Wycombe Magistrates' Court after being released on bail from High Wycombe Police Station on February 23 - bringing his total sentence to 14 weeks.
Explaining why Dorane was given a jail term, court documents said the crime was "aggravated by the defendant's record of previous offending and because the crime was committed during the operational period of a suspended sentence".
He was also ordered to pay compensation of £49.05.
