Bridgerton actress Genevieve Chenneour expressed relief as the prolific thief who attempted to snatch her phone has been jailed for 22 months. Boulares, 18, grabbed her iPhone in a Joe & the Juice on Kensington High Street, west London, in February. Chenneour defended herself, with her boyfriend coming to her aid. Boulares was scolded by the judge for his actions in court.

The teenager was prosecuted for the attempted robbery of Chenneour and for stealing a handbag at a Pizza Pilgrims in London. Police caught Boulares after he stole a backpack from a blind couple at a Five Guys in Kensington. He received concurrent sentences for his crimes.

During sentencing, the judge highlighted Boulares' extensive criminal history and described his behavior as a 'systematic pattern of stealing from people.' Chenneour shared her relief on social media after the sentencing.

In a victim impact statement, Chenneour expressed her fear and anxiety following the incident. Her boyfriend also shared how the incident has impacted him.
