Wigan store ban for Tesco wine thief
A serial thief has been given another community order after another lapse.
Malcolm Ellison, 55 of Kimberley Place, Ashton, stood before Wigan justices to plead guilty to stealing six bottles of wine from Ashton’s Tesco on July 19.
This was just weeks after the same court had punished him for a series of thefts from shops in March.
