AN ABERYSTWYTH man has been given jail time for stealing £10 worth of sausage meat.

William McPherson, now of no fixed abode, is currently serving a 12 month sentence imposed in December for three assaults.

He appeared before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court earlier this month.

The 40-year-old pleaded guilty to a charge of burglary by stealing £10 worth of sausage meat from 3 Bridge Street in Aberystwyth on 13 July last year.

Magistrates handed McPherson four weeks in jail.

He must also pay costs to the Crown Prosecution Service of £85.
