A repeat-offender who was caught red-handed helping himself to shaving foam, disposable blades and hair gel was yesterday jailed for three months.

Wayne Delia, 27, of Paola, was caught stealing the items, worth almost €170, from Carter’s Supermarket on Valentine’s Day last year.

Magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera heard Mr Delia committed the crime while he was on bail and was a relapser. She told him he had dented the trust the court had put in him, leaving her with “no alternative” but to jail him.
