A man who stole food and alcohol has been ordered to participate in a drug treatment court programme.

Sean Mallory, 56, admitted taking prosecco, champagne and frozen shrimp, valued at $163.23, from PriceRite in Warwick, when he appeared in Magistrates’ Court yesterday.

Mallory, from Devonshire, who stole the goods on February 20, also admitted several traffic offences.

Magistrate Craig Attridge ordered Mallory to attend drug treatment court next Tuesday and released him on bail until that time.
