A MAN has been given another chance to rehabilitate himself after he admitted stealing coffee from a retail park store.
Michael Robinson, of Rhosddu Road, appeared at Wrexham Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
The 48-year-old admitted that on June 12 at B&M on Border Retail Park, Wrexham, he stole four jars of coffee, valued at £18.
Sara Worland said the items were not recovered after the thefts.
The court heard however that Robinson made "full and frank admissions" about the crime.
District Judge Gwyn Jones heard from the probation service about the defendant's ongoing work with them.

Probation officer Andrew Connah said Robinson had missed some appointments but his missed appointments have been acceptable, and he is "cooperating."
The District Judge told the defendant: "If I was a teacher, you know what I'd say; could do better.
"I am giving you a chance to work with probation.
"Things have been difficult but you need to make sure you keep these appointments, are we clear?"
Robinson agreed, and was ordered to pay a £60 fine, as well as £18 in compensation and £85 costs.
