A heroin addict who twice stole meat from a Falkirk supermarket has been jailed.
Christopher Roy (35), 9 Tay Street, Langlees, admitted pinching £60 of product, as well as a basket, from Tesco Express in Camelon Road on September 20 this year.
He again stole a quantity of meat, worth £59.55, from the same store on September 23 and, on both occasions, breached a bail condition requiring him to stay at home between 11.30am and 8.30am.
Roy appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court on Thursday via a prison video link.
