CRUEL baby shaker Paul Sykes had 28 days added to his four year jail sentence for theft crimes.

The 40-year-old, jailed last month for the baby attack, appeared by video link from Armley prison at Huddersfield Magistrates’ Court yesterday.

Sykes pleaded guilty to three counts of theft from Huddersfield shops.

Teresa Hughes, prosecuting, said Sykes, of North Street, Lockwood, and an accomplice had stolen a bottle of wine from Tesco on February 9.

They went to the alcohol aisle in the supermarket and took the £5.99 bottle of wine without paying – but were seen by security staff.

In another theft on February 26, Sykes was caught on CCTV in House of Fraser stealing a £64.99 jacket.

Mrs Hughes said: “Staff found the security tag on the floor and checked the CCTV which showed the defendant.”

Builder Sykes was seen taking off his own jacket, putting on the Superdry coat, and then putting his own coat back on over the top.

When later questioned by police he told them he had stolen the jacket to sell for alcohol because he had a drink problem.

On December 10 last year Sykes and an accomplice also stole £254.44 worth of toys, cosmetics and fragrances from Boots.

Mrs Hughes said it was ‘quite a high value of goods’ stolen and that Sykes has made a full admission when questioned by police.

Charles Ainley, defending, said he was offering ‘little by way of mitigation’.

He said Sykes was not in a position to pay any costs and was already in the process of serving a four year sentence for grievous bodily harm.

Mr Ainley said: “He’s going to be in Armley prison for some time to come and it looks like he will serve the whole period.”

Chairman of the magistrates, David Lewis, said: “Because of the fact that you’re a serving prisoner, we’re going to sentence you to 28 days custody for each to run concurrent to your existing order.”

Last week Sykes was sentenced at Bradford Crown court for shaking his 15-week-old son so violently he was left blind.

He was also been banned from ever working with children after hurting little Charlie Senior.

It was his second conviction for injuring a child. In 1992 he was given a nine-month suspended sentence for breaking a two-month-old girl’s leg and bruising her face and body.

Bradford Crown Court heard Charlie suffered brain damage and a bleeding eye when he was shaken by his dad on May 18 2007. The baby is likely to need care for the rest of his life because of Sykes.
