Edinburgh champagne thief snatched 50 bottles from popular curry house

An Edinburgh man who stole nearly 50 bottles of champagne and wine from a curry house in a late-night raid has been sent to prison for two years.

Andrew Stobbs, 37, stole around £1,000 worth of alcohol during his visit to the award-winning Raj Mahal restaurant in Kinross in 2020.

Later the same day, Stobbs broke into a garden shed and was seen using a bicycle to flee the scene with a variety of stolen garden tools. Sheriff Euan Duthie jailed Stobbs and imposed a further six months supervision when he appeared for sentence at Perth Sheriff Court this week.
