A THIEF who targeted a shop more than a dozen times over a several-month period is set to be sentenced.
Ian Lawson, of Highstone Crescent, Worsbrough Common, stole from Wilko, in the Alhambra, on 14 occasions between May 31 and August 1 and stole items totalling more than £800.
The 44-year-old will appear for sentencing at Barnsley Magistrates’ Court on September 28.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
