Defence solicitor Simon Hutchison said: “He certainly can’t be said to be a first offender. This was a period where he wasn’t working and this was a way to make some quick money.
"Unfortunately he didn’t because he was caught.”
Sheriff Christopher Shead placed McLachlan on a supervised community payback order for 12 months with the condition he completes 225 hours of unpaid work in that time.
