37-year-old will be sentenced in April
A Ballasalla man will be sentenced next month after stealing hundreds of pounds of clothing from a high street retailer.
Craig Phillip Teare, of Crossag Close, entered Sports Direct in Douglas just after 1pm on 4 February.
The 37-year-old left 15 minutes later with more than £660 of Nike goods.
At Douglas Courthouse he pleaded guilty to theft.
The court heard staff had found nine damaged security tags and a number of empty hangers; Teare was arrested and told police: “I got spotted didn’t I?”
A social enquiry report has been requested before Teare is sentenced on 30 April; he’s been bailed until that date.
