A DRUG addict grandfather was warned yesterday that he risks killing himself by a judge at Newcastle Crown Court.
Anthony Brown appeared in court after he stole £62 worth of razor blades from an Asda store in South Shields, Tyneside.
His barrister, Kossar Kitching, said he took the blades to sell and raise money for food.
The 41-year-old, of Finchale Road, Hebburn, pleaded guilty to theft at an earlier hearing.
Judge David Wood agreed to defer sentence for six months.
"The cause of this is your addiction to heroin and, until you come to grips with that, you will carry on offending or kill yourself," he told Brown
