Nigel Wilson, 59, received a 20-week prison sentence, which was suspended for 12 months, when he appeared at Middlesbrough’s Teesside Magistrates’ Court after admitting three separate counts of theft at previous court hearings.
Wilson, of Bedale Avenue, Billingham, pleaded guilty to firstly stealing £638 worth of alcohol from Tesco supermarket, in Myton Road, Thornaby, on May 25.

Wilson followed this up on June 15 by stealing another six bottles of whiskey worth £150 from Morrisons.
The court decided to suspend the jail term after hearing that there was “a realistic prospect of rehabilitation” and because of “personal circumstances in relation to family”.
Wilson was, however, also ordered to pay £649 compensation to Morrisons and £85 court courts.
