A 31-year-old man has admitted to stealing washing liquid from the Co-op in Irvine.

Christopher Douglas Neil pleaded guilty to one charge of theft by shoplifting through his solicitor at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court last week.

Neil, of Boyle Street, Irvine, stole a quantity of washing liquid from the Caldon Street store on April 19.

Sentence was deferred for good behaviour.
