A MAN who has already admitted a series of offences has pleaded guilty to further charges of assault and shop theft.

Michael Goodridge stole alcohol and crisps from a Tesco Express and assaulted a man in Bolton on June 30.

He had denied both charges but changed his pleas at Bolton Magistrates’ Court.

He also admitted failing to surrender to custody at the court on June 25.

Goodridge, aged 39, of Knutshaw Crescent, Hunger Hill, had previously pleaded guilty to stealing a laptop and wallet worth £210 on June 20, 2013, stealing alcohol from Aldi on July 10 this year and obstructing a policeman in the execution of his duty on July 11.

He was remanded in custody until August 18, when he is due to be sentenced.
