A MAN who stole £15 worth of alcohol from an Irvine shop is awaiting sentence.
Christopher Forbes, 35, appeared at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court earlier this week after admitting to stealing booze from the Co-op store in Dreghorn on December 28 last year.
The court was told that the alcohol was valued at £15 but was not recovered by police, after the incident was caught on CCTV.
The court heard that Forbes, of East Broomlands in Irvine, is currently unemployed and has "significant drug issues".
Defence solicitor Peter Murray said that Forbes was "in a good place just now" and "stable on medication".
He added: "It is the hope that he could be given some support and assistance."
Sentence was deferred for background reports to be prepared.
