A crooked cleaner sneakily helped himself to bottles of booze while working at a popular city centre nightclub.
Alcoholic Robert Wood was employed by a company to do a shift at Powerhouse, in Newcastle, when he stole the liquor from behind the bar. CCTV footage captured the 36-year-old picking up numerous bottles of spirits as he finished work, putting them in a rucksack and leaving the venue, a court heard.
Just weeks later, while working as a cleaner for the same company at nearby Bacchus Bar, the thief also stole £260 in cash. He did, however, appear earlier in the year for that offence and was given a community order.
