Patrick Cassar, 30, was placed under a probation order for three years today after admitting in court to stealing a camera and a Nintendo game from a hotel in Bugibba, where he worked as a cleaner.
The case happened last month.
Mr Cassar now works for a different company, also as a cleaner.
The court in handing down sentence noted that Mr Cassar had two previous convictions over a period of eight years and warned him that this was his last chance to reform himself.
