The charge says Shaw stole a number of products, particularly springs, from Redditch-based manufacturer Springmasters between August 18, 2021, and October 19 last year. 

No value has been given in court on how much Shaw stole.

Michelle Edwards, chair of the magistrates bench, told Shaw to attend his sentencing at Worcester Crown Court on August 18 this year.

Shaw was given unconditional bail. 

Sanna Hussain prosecuted while Paul Stanley appeared for the defence during the court hearing.
