Unemployed Hargreaves, of Peel Street, Padiham, admitted stealing. He was told to pay £90 compensation.

Mr Nick Cassidy (defending) told the hearing Hargreaves was now in contact with probation for post-sentence supervision.

The solicitor added: "He is complying. At the moment, he is actively seeking for work. Through me, this defendant formally apologises."
