A THIEF was given a supervision order yesterday for various offences.
Paul Tweddle, 19, of Conyers Avenue, Mowden, Darlington, appeared before Darlington magistrates and pleaded guilty to stealing a bottle of Sambuca from Morrisons, a religiously aggravated assault on June 23 and failing to surrender to bail at court on July 10.

Magistrates gave him a 12-month supervision order, ordered him to pay £75 compensation, a £50 fine for failing to surrender to bail, £43 costs and a £15 Victim Support surcharge.
