The offences were committed from December 18 last year to May 14 this year. His full list of stolen products included five sausages, a hot dog, a sausage roll, four Warburtons crumpets, three packs of butter, a pack of Pilgrim cheese and a can of Monster. The total value of his food haul was £35.37.

He also burgled an LG television from the landing of a block of flats in Leominster, the value of which was unknown.
