CRIMINALS will be forced to pay back every penny they steal under proposals being drawn up by Tory Robert Jenrick.

The move could let courts claw back many billions of pounds of ill-gotten gains which would be returned to victims or help tackle crime.

Under the proposal, fines on burglars and thieves will be hiked so they have to pay for the full amount of damage they inflict.

Rules which stop courts pursuing criminals for unpaid fines after six years would be torn up so a thief can always be made to pay up.

The shadow justice secretary is proposing the crackdown in an amendment to the Victims and Courts Bill, which is being debated in parliament next week.

Mr Jenrick said: “There’s never been a better time to be a criminal. That has to change: crime should never pay.

“Thieves and burglars must be fined the full cost of the damage they cause.

“If they can’t pay immediately, they should be made to pay it back over their whole lifetime.

“Our criminal justice system must put victims first and yobs last.”

Criminals owe a record £4.4billion in unpaid fines and court fees.

It is made up of over £1bn in fines and £3.4bn in legal costs and confiscation orders slapped on convicts.

This is enough cash to build 20,000 prison places.

Courts can impose fines on criminals as part of their sentence. The size of the fine depends on the severity of the crime and the offender’s ability to pay it.

But thieves and burglars routinely fail to pay up. And some dodge these fines by serving an extra day in prison – racking up a bigger bill for the taxpayer.

Labour have a giant majority in Parliament, so they would have to back the amendment for it to become law.

The kit has stainless steel tools that are thick and heat-resistant, making them last longer than other tools.

“It will not be easy to break and bend, anti-rust at the same time, to provide you with the best grilling experience,” read the product description on Walmart’s website.

The kit has food-grade, high-quality materials, according to the description.

“All the tools in this griddle kit are made of healthy and safe materials and totally reach the food safety grade and can contact with the food directly,” read the description.

“Also, the durable material makes the service life longer. The stainless steel part is smooth for frying and flattening the food better.”

The product also boasts that it is the perfect gift choice for Father’s Day and is easy to clean.

“Our griddle tool kit for Blackstone and Camp Chef adopts high-quality, rust-proof material that can be put directly in the dishwasher for cleaning and will not break or be damaged easily,” read the description.

“We provide you with a large capacity carrying bag to keep all the tools organized for storage and be taken anywhere you need to cook!”

The product has a rating of 4.6 out of five stars based on 159 ratings and 89 reviews.

A review from December 2024 gave the product five stars, calling it good quality and a “must-have” purchase.

“Everything is well made, high quality comes with everything you will need, a lot better than what I was expecting for the price,” read the review.

“Made a great Christmas present for my father-in-law.”

Another review called the product a complete set, writing, “This is a set we need to replace many of the items we use for the Troop campouts.”

“Buying all of the items separately would be prohibitive. This was a great deal that we will put to the test!” the review continued.

A third review called the kit a “very well-made product” for the price.

“The price was incredible compared to every other griddle set I researched,” wrote Kathy.

“I am definitely pleased with this set. It also had everything I wanted.”

However, the product also received about 16 reviews that were three stars or lower, with one person calling the kit “garbage.”

“Should’ve known the price was too good to be true!!!!” the one-star review read.

“Most of this product is made cheap flimsy metal that bends and cracks easily!!! Dont waste your time trying this out….if you do you will be severly disappointed!!! 

“Do yourself a favor and stop being cheap (like me) and spend the cash on a better product which will be double double the price of this garbage; the only difference is the new better product will last!!!”
