A BURGLAR has been jailed after stealing from a Hereford butcher's shop.

Audi Carr admitted one count of possessing a class B controlled drug when he appeared before magistrates in Kidderminster in October and was also sentenced for one count of burglary and one of theft from a shop.

The court heard from prosecutor Sara Beddow that Carr had been caught in possession of a quantity of class B controlled drug cannabis in Hereford on July 25.

OTHER NEWS:

He had also entered St Owen Street's Ogleby Butchers on the same date, stealing meat, money, charity boxes and a sat nav.

The 47-year-old had also stolen a bottle of vodka, worth £4, from Hereford's Marks and Spencer supermarket on August 17.

Magistrates said Carr, who is of no fixed address, has a flagrant disregard for people and their property, jailing him for 32 weeks. He was ordered to pay compensation of £300 to Ogleby's and the cannabis was ordered to be forfeited and destroyed.

No order for prosecution costs was made due to Carr's very limited means.
