A MAN from Rhyl has been ordered to pay more than £750 after he stole a number of items from stores in the town and in Llandudno.

Christopher Jones, 35, of Morlan Park, admitted three counts of theft, and a further charge of failing to surrender to custody, at Llandudno Magistrates’ Court last week.

The court heard that Jones’ first theft took place on January 16, when he stole £300 worth of alcohol from Rhyl’s Morrisons supermarket on Marsh Road.
