A WARRANT has been issued for the arrest of Sam Gleadall after he failed to appear for his court hearing.
Gleadall was due to appear at Worcester Magistrates Court on Thursday, (September 29).
He stands accused of three charges - possessing a controlled drug of class B (cannabis), and two charges of theft from a shop.
The first alleged theft is said by the crown to have taken place at a Tesco in Worcester, with food items valued at £20 being taken.
The second is alleged to have taken place at TK Maxx on August 25, with two handbags valued at £129.98 taken.

Also on August 25, the crown say, Gleadall had a quantity of cannabis on him in Worcester.
The 36-year-old was scheduled to attend court for a noon hearing, where he potentially could enter pleas, but he did not turn up.
Prosecutor Sumreen Afsar told magistrates Gleadall, of Park Street, Worcester, had been charged for the offences at Worcester Police Station, when he was given the date for the hearing of his case.
She added Gleadall had previously been given conditional bail, the conditions being not to enter the stores.
She asked for a warrant not back for bail, chairman of the magistrates bench Harry Turner agreeing to issue the warrant.
