Wigan shoplifter's sentencing delayed as he failed to attend court
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Ian Mitchell, 59, of Linney Square, Scholes, had previously appeared before justices to admit to stealing bottles of alcohol from the Asda hypermarket on Soho Street, three times on October 9 last year and attempting to do so again the day afterwards.
He also admitted to assaulting David Murdoch by beating and using threatening words or behaviour against him on October 9 and to breaching bail on January 15.

But after being bailed until his sentencing date, Mitchell was then a no show on the day in question and justices issued a warrant for his arrest.
