Marco Pierre White Jr, the troubled son of celebrity chef Marco Pierre White Sr, has managed to avoid jail time after being caught burglarizing a tattoo shop called “Behind Bars” in Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset. Despite being seen leaving the store with stolen goods such as a jewellery box and electronic items, he dropped the items when police spotted him. White attempted to flee but was apprehended shortly after the incident. Just two months prior to the raid, he had been released from jail, and in October, he targeted two other stores in Bath and Weston-Super-Mare. White, who had a history of criminal behavior, was described as a “professional criminal” by the court.
Although White admitted to the burglary at North Somerset Magistrates’ Court, he managed to avoid a jail sentence and instead received a 30-week suspended sentence for 18 months. He was also required to participate in non-residential drug rehabilitation, where he must provide samples for nine months. White’s criminal history includes offenses such as being stopped while under the influence of cocaine, calling police officers derogatory slurs, and running out on restaurant bills. He had also attacked his father, smashed windows, and had previously been sentenced to prison for several charges including racial abuse and carrying a knife.
Marco Pierre White Jr was born to celebrity chef Marco Pierre White and Mati Conejero, and had a tumultuous upbringing before entering the world of art and modeling. He appeared on “Big Brother” where his behavior led to numerous complaints. In November 2019, he welcomed a daughter named Arabella Rosa. Throughout the years, White was convicted of various criminal offenses and spent time in prison. He moved to his father’s farm in Wiltshire and expressed a desire to leave his wild lifestyle behind, but continued to face legal troubles. White also made controversial statements on social media, launched a sex toy brand, and made racially charged comments leading to fines.
In 2022, Marco Jr pleaded guilty to 14 offenses including shoplifting, drug possession, and racially aggravated public order. He received a 41-week prison sentence for burglary and other charges on his 29th birthday in Bristol Magistrates’ Court. Despite being released, he was jailed again in August for stealing from a Sainsbury’s. In total, White was sentenced to 79 weeks in prison for his criminal actions, which also included stealing headphones and cigarettes from various establishments. Investigating officers stressed the harm caused by retail crime and expressed their commitment to tackling such offenses.
White’s long rap sheet detailed his criminal history and controversial behavior, which included derogatory comments, drug possession, and criminal acts such as shoplifting and burglary. Although he had attempted to change his lifestyle and move away from his troubled past, he continued to face legal consequences for his actions. Despite managing to avoid jail time on multiple occasions, White’s repeated offenses eventually caught up with him, leading to extended periods of incarceration. His continuous run-ins with the law and disregard for rules illustrated his struggles with addiction and the challenges he faced in overcoming his troubled past.
