A BURNHAM man has got away with just having to pay court costs after he stole 30 packs of medicine from Poundland.

Aaron Loderick, of Wyndham Crescent, Burnham, stole items which -- unsurprisingly -- came to a value of £30.

The 32-year-old shoplifted from the Slough store on April 1, 2021.

Loderick played the fool, however, after he was forced to appear at Reading Magistrates’ Court on May 19, 2021 after failing to appear at Slough Magistrates’ Court on May 13, 2021.

Here, he was given a 12-month conditional discharge, was told to pay court costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £22.
