A DRUG addict looking for saleable goods to finance his habit broke into a garden shed in Inn Lane, Hartlebury, and stole a £200 hedge trimmer.
He also stole slabs worth £65 from the manufacturers' secure compound at Stourport, magistrates heard at Kidderminster.
Simon Lander, 20, of Burlish Crossing, Stourport, admitted burglary and theft and asked for offences of stealing building materials worth £30 and £7 worth of petrol to be taken into account. He was bailed for a pre-sentence report.
Lander had been able to give up drugs since the offences were committed, said his solicitor, Fergus Maxwell.
