A man who visited the Super Plus Food Store in Cross Roads and stole several items pleaded guilty to simple larceny when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.

Errol Todd told the court that he took the items, which included a bottle of Herbal Essences shampoo, a packet of coconut milk, a canister of flea and tick spray and insect powder, without paying for them. The goods were valued at $1,100.

In attempting to explain his actions, he said, "I was having a few drinks and I went to pick up a few things and I get confused your honour."

He was sentenced to 10 days in jail.
