A MAN stole two bottles of wine by putting them down his trousers and walking out of an off-licence a court was told.

Robert Gibson took the wine from Majestic Wines in October.

Sarah Stock, prosecuting at Worcester Magistrates Court, said Gibson’s movements were captured on CCTV and a stock-check later revealed the bottles were missing. When he was arrested, he told police he was depressed and at a low point in his life.

Gibson, aged 35 of Quay Street, Worcester, admitted theft. He was released on bail until Friday, February 18, when he will be sentenced.
