Matthew Bryan-Dixon (25) and accomplice Samuel Kendall (27) helped themselves to the alcohol from the Co-op in Barnoldswick, last November 15th.

Burnley magistrates were told how Kendall went on to steal a £19.99 Christmas tree from One Stop Retail in Barnoldswick two weeks before the festive season. He took it back when he realised the store knew what he had done.
