Chaise Healey and Edgaras Arlaukas, both 32, appeared at Hereford Magistrates Court having been charged with a total of 11 offences.
The offences include making off without payments, theft from person and thefts from charities over a period of approximately 2 months.
The pair caused widespread alarm and distress and have generated a keen public interest following several businesses in the county sharing CCTV images and footage on social media of charity box thefts.
Both have shown recidivist behaviour in previous weeks which led to them being remanded in prison whilst awaiting today's trial.
The results of today's trial has found both men guilty of all offences and were given custodial sentences of 6 months.
