Chocolate theft a 'gift for gran'

A SHOPLIFTER stole two large bars of Cadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate and three boxes of Ferrero Rocher as a present for his grandmother, a court heard.

George Hocking, aged 31, took the £15.70 chocolate haul from Tesco Metro, Plymouth magistrates were told.

His solicitor said he was not going to sell the chocolates to buy drink or drugs.

Graham Kinchin added: "There is no resale value in boxes of Ferrero Rocher."

Hocking, of Mildmay Street in Greenbank, admitted theft of the chocolates from the store in Ebrington Street on June 19.

He also admitted theft of two Nintendo Wii games worth £40 from Game in New George Street on June 13. The court heard that he told police the games were a present for his sister.

Magistrates gave him a 12-month community order and he must complete probation's Thinking Skills programme.
