A MAN has been fined £75 after stealing a quantity of meat.
John Cooper, of Riverside Place, Ayr, admitted to stealing a two-figure sum of meat from the Spar Stores at Boswell Park.
The 54-year-old appeared before Sheriff John Montgomery at Ayr Sheriff Court last week.
The court heard that there was no recovery of the meat and Cooper “stuck the product up his jacket and left”.
Speaking on his behalf, defence solicitor Glen Davis, said: A significant factor is that Mr Cooper has since served time in custody.”
Sheriff Montgomery issued Cooper to pay a fine of £75.
