A Bisley man who repeatedly stole meat and food from a Surrey petrol station has been handed a community order.

Guildford Magistrates heard that Nicholas Andrews helped himself to meat and fish products totalling over £500 in value from Lightwater BP.

The 49-year-old of Arethusa Way stole from its M&S Simply Food on four occasions during a two-month spell.

The court heard Andrews stole food and meat products worth £45 and £115 on March 6 and 7, respectively.

He stole a further £20 of stock on March 15 before food and meat products worth £151 and £132 were respectively stolen on April 17 and 22.

Andrews was handed the community order with a rehabilitation activity last Wednesday after admitting to five counts of theft.
