A MAN from Leominster has admitted to stealing alcohol from two shops in the town.

Steven Daniels, of Ryelands Road, pleaded guilty to five counts of theft from a shop when he appeared at Hereford Magistrates Court.

The court heard that, between February 19 and February 22, the 32-year-old stole alcohol to the value of £22.50 on three separate occasions from the Co-Op. Further thefts of alcohol happened at the same shop on March 10 and March 21, while on the latter date, Daniels also stole alcohol from Savers.
