A dopey thief sat and necked four cans of lager and a bottle of wine inside the shop he'd just stolen them from.
Brazen Mark Kindley had earlier helped himself to booze from the Co-op, in Bedlington Station, Northumberland, but returned just a few hours later to steal some more. A court heard that the 36-year-old picked up three cans of Stella and a bottle of wine from the shelves - then sat down in an aisle and downed them in front of staff.
Alcoholic Kindley, of Coomassie Road, in Blyth, made no attempt to pay for the alcohol he'd drank and was arrested after police were called to the store. It also emerged that, in the weeks previous, the crook, who has 37 offences on his record, had been arrested twice for being drunk and disorderly.
