Colin Ewen, of St Boswells Terrace, claimed he stole the meat because he hadn’t received Universal Credit payments for three weeks. The 36-year-old pleaded guilty to stealing meat from Tesco, Riverside Drive, on Saturday. Solicitor Jim Laverty said Ewen was “bereft of any financial assistance”. Sentence was deferred until April 24. This article originally appeared on the Evening Telegraph website. For more information, read about our new combined website.
