A man attempting to steal four chocolate bars from B&M brandished a pair of scissors at security staff who tried to stop him.
James Thompson appeared at Liverpool Magistrates Court on Tuesday after pleading guilty to two counts of common assault, one count of theft, one count of possession of class B drugs and two counts of possession of Class A drugs. Laura Simpson, prosecuting, told the court that on March 3, Kyle Williams was working as a security officer at B&M in Clayton Square, when he was approached by a male informing him that Thompson was stashing items into a carrier bag.
Mr Williams reviewed the CCTV and confirmed a theft was taking place. He went outside the store and saw the 44-year-old defendant nearby, so approached him and escorted him back inside the store.
