Theft lice and videotape in Sutton

Simon Foulkes of Willow Crescent pleaded guilty at Mansfield Magistrates’ Court to the theft of two bottles of dog flea drops and a can of deodorant from Manor Pharmacy on July 8.

Foulkes 32, was caught on CCTV taking the items worth a total of £40.93 and putting them into a plastic bag.

When he was arrested Foulkes made a full admission and said he intended to sell the drops on at £10 each for food.

The court heard that Foulkes had a long term drugs problem and had tested positive for cocaine and opiates.

He had committed the theft just three weeks after being released from a 50-day prison sentence.
