He was apprehended with the help of a police dog, tested positive for being over the prescribed limit for cannabis, and admitted to having only a provisional driving licence and no insurance.

Lee Hamshaw stole five electric toothbrushes worth £390 from one Tesco store and four bottles of alcohol worth £120 from another Tesco store by hiding them in his trousers and coat.
