The court heard from Crown Prosecution Service prosecutor Melanie Winterflood that Wood was accused of stealing an electric toothbrush and razors worth £82.50 from Tesco supermarket in Ludlow, Shropshire, on April 1.

The 43-year-old defendant entered a guilty plea to the charge at the hearing.

Wood, of Ridgemoor Road in Leominster, was handed a 12-month conditional discharge for the offence, but no compensation was ordered by the magistrates to be paid to Tesco Stores Ltd due to his limited means.

The court also chose to make no order for prosecution costs to be paid.
