A 19-YEAR-OLD from Arnold has been given one more chance by a judge after he stole Nike shorts when subject to a court order.
Jordan Brewin, of Bentwell Avenue, stole shorts worth £16.99 from Sports Direct, Nottingham, when he was subject to a suspended sentence.
He triggered the store's security alarm when he left with the shorts inside a JD Sports bag at 12.20pm on May 29, Nottingham Crown Court heard.
He pleaded guilty to theft and failing to comply with the suspended sentence.
Recorder Tina Landale, yesterday gave him a two-month curfew for the breach, a community order and an additional two-month curfew, to run between 8pm and 6am, for the new offence.
Edie Leonard said in mitigation that Brewin was not a sophisticated offender.
"He lives with his mum and stepdad. His family are all here today. He is doing his level best to try and get employment. He and his mother are making 20 to 30 job applications weekly for anything they can think of."
The judge told Brewin: "You have been given plenty of chances by judges who have listened to explanations, no doubt, quite similar to that provided by Miss Leonard, asking for yet another chance, yet another chance, yet another chance.
"Finally, you come before me for the fourth breach of the order and have failed to comply with the requirements and committed another offence."
