A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a Wigan shoplifter who failed to turn up at court for sentencing.

Gavin Barker, 37, of no fixed address, had been due to appear before borough magistrates having admitted at a previous hearing to stealing £90 worth of coffee from Farmfoods on February 13.

But when he did not show up, the bench issued an arrest warrant.
