A MAN who thought his luck was in when he was offered £350-worth of beer and wine for £100 was placed under a curfew by magistrates.

Under the order, Gareth Waite, 24, of Kennion Court, Harrogate, must stay at home each Friday, Saturday and Sunday between 8pm and 8am.

The order, imposed by Harrogate Magistrates' Court, will be in force for three months.

It was imposed after Waite admitted handling stolen goods, and replaced an earlier 80-hour community punishment order.
