A TEENAGER has appeared in court after admitting stealing food from a supermarket in the Bradford district.

The 16-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons due to his young age, appeared before Bradford and Keighley Magistrates’ Court earlier this month.

He was charged with theft from a shop.

Court documents state that on March 6 this year, he stole food to the value of £50 from a Farmfoods supermarket.

He pleaded guilty to the offence.

The teen was referred to the Bradford Youth Offender panel for a 12-month contract and his guilty plea was considered by the court when imposing the sentence.

The Bradford & District Youth Justice Service assesses each young offender and addresses the specific problems that make the young person offend.
