A thief who broke into a popular Perth restaurant and helped himself to handfuls of cash left a trail of coins in his wake which led police right to him as he tried to evade capture.
Christopher Anderson was hiding behind a parked car when constables caught up with him after he smashed his way into Willows last year and nicked around £125 from a cash register.
Perth Sheriff Court heard last week Anderson also helped himself to tins of fizzy juice during the raid and when officers found him later on he told them: “I just had a drink and pinched a munchie.”
