A man has been ordered to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work after being caught stealing more than £700 worth of makeup from Boots in Winchester.

Ionel-Elvis Dulea pinched cosmetics to the value of £732.48 from the High Street store on April 25 last year.

The 45-year-old, of Stephenson Street in Gateshead, indicated a plea of guilty to the offence and was sentenced at North Hampshire Magistrates' Court on Friday, April 8.

He'll have to carry out the supervised work over the next 12 months.

No compensation was ordered as the items were recovered.
