Prolific thief stole bike, trainers and sugar plum gin from shops across Oswestry
A serial thief who stole a bike, trainers and sugar plum gin has been ordered to pay more than £700.

On August 16 he stole the bike, and then on September 15 he unlawfully took laundry products worth £31 from Home Bargains in Oswestry.
