A thief broke into a rural Stirling pub-restaurant and stole booze before making off with its van.
Gerald Pender had admitted breaking into the Gargunnock Inn on January 17 this year and carrying out the thefts while on bail on another matter.
The 26-year-old, of McNeill Crescent, Gargunnock, did not stop to give details following an accident involving the van around 3.00am that day on the A811, Kippen. The vehicle had damaged a lamppost there by colliding with it.
