Worksop shoplifter stole meat to eat
A man who stole two legs of lamb from a Worksop store by putting them down his trousers told police he ate them afterwards, a court heard.
Leon Whitehead was recorded on CCTV taking the items, worth £30, from Farmfoods, on May 11.
"He said he ate the items and didn't sell them," said prosecutor Neil Hollett.
