Man in court after stealing DVDs from Aberdeen shop

A man has been given a supervision order after being caught stealing more than £60 of DVDs.

Shaun Mauchline, known as Clark, appeared yesterday at Aberdeen Sheriff Court for sentencing in relation to the matter.

The 39-year-old had previously pled guilty to stealing a quantity of DVDs from HMV on Union Bridge in Aberdeen.

The crime took place on August 22 this year.

Depute fiscal Anne MacDonald told the court the goods taken had a total value of £60.97, adding that the items were not recovered.

She said: “The accused was caught on CCTV before he left.

“Unfortunately he was not intercepted until later.”
