A TEENAGER from Nailsworth had admitted shoplifting and damaging a fire extinguisher in the town.

At a hearing at Cheltenham Youth Court on February 21, the 17 year old boy from Forest Green pleaded guilty to the offences, which were committed in Nailsworth in October.

These were two shoplifting offences in the town and causing damage to a fire extinguisher at St George's church.

The teen received a nine month referral order, requiring him to work with the local Youth Offending Team and was ordered to pay £100 in compensation.
