Appearing at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday, Stephen Rooney, 32, had pleaded guilty to stealing a quantity of clothes from USC, Howgate Shopping Centre, Falkirk on December 30 last year.

The court heard there was full recovery of most of the items Rooney stole – which totalled £1607 worth of clothing – apart from a £309 jacket.

Sheriff Maryam Labaki ordered Rooney, 36 Garry Place, Hallglen, to pay compensation of £309 to USC at a rate of £20 per month.
