A Machynlleth man has been handed a curfew as part of a community order after admitting twice stealing from a Tywyn supermarket.

The 42-year-old pleaded guilty at the hearing to stealing goods from the Co-op store in Tywyn on 14 November last year.

Granton also admitted again stealing from the same store on 14 December last year.

Magistrates handed Granton a 12 month community order to include nine weeks of electronic monitored curfew as well as up to 10 days of rehabilitation activities.

He was also ordered to pay £200 compensation, prosecution costs of £85 and a surcharge to fund victim services of £114.
