Laxey man stole alcohol whilst waiting to be sentenced for breaking window

27-year-old will be sentenced for both offences in March

A Laxey man who is waiting to be sentenced for smashing a shop window has appeared in court again charged with theft.

Daniel Luke Maguire, of Glen Road, admitted stealing more than £46 worth of alcohol from a convenience store on Tuesday (7 February).

The 27-year-old entered SPAR, on Bucks Road in Douglas, at 6pm; he was seen placing beer and cider into his bags for life but made no attempt to pay for it.

Police were called and as they were reviewing CCTV Maguire re-entered the shop and was arrested; his probation worker told the court he had ‘no memory’ of the theft.

Maguire will be sentenced for both offences on 7 March after a Social Enquiry Report has been completed; he’s been bailed until that date.
