FOUR days after being caught shoplifting, Antony Millward stole again, a court was told.
Bury magistrates heard that Millward was stopped at Superdrug in Bury with 13 boxes of cosmetics.
After being held in police custody overnight he appeared before magistrates who agreed to give him bail. But just three days later, Millward, aged 25, of St James Grove in Bury, was stopped leaving the Co-op store at Ramsbottom with air fresheners that he had not paid for.
When searched by police he was also found to be carrying a small craft knife.
Millward pleaded guilty to two charges of theft and a third matter of carrying a blade in a public place without lawful authority.
He was given a 12-month drug-testing and treatment order.
