A Douglas man has admitted stealing £800 in cash from Spar on Bucks Road.

Thirty-seven-year-old Karl Allen Cameron went to the store on September 10, after it had closed.

He was let in by a staff member who was cashing up, and allowed to buy items.

However, as the employee went around the counter to let Cameron out, he took £800 in cash.

Appearing before magistrates recently, the defendant, who lives at Cronk Y Berry, was represented by advocate Paul Glover.

Mr Glover asked for a probation report to be prepared before sentencing, which has been scheduled for November 5.

Bail continues, with conditions not to enter the Bucks Road Spar store and to contact probation services.
