A man who had stolen trophies which were to be given to charity in his van has appeared in court. Wayne Platt, aged 41, of Wilton Street, Astley Bridge, was spotted by police officers asleep in his van in Savick Avenue, Breightmet on April 29 last year.
They discovered paintings, pictures and trophies that had been stolen from the Victoria and Albert pub in Lee Lane, Horwich, the day before. Platt, an amphetamine addict, was out of work and claimed he bought the items as he was attempting to make ends meet by selling things at car boot sales. He pleaded guilty to handling stolen goods and was sentenced at Bolton Crown Court. He was placed under the supervision of the probation service for six months.
