An addict who stole £1300 worth of outdoor clothing from an Inverness store to fund his habit has been jailed for five months.

Ross Grant, of Huntly Square, Inverness appeared for sentence at Inverness Sheriff Court having previously pleaded guilty to the theft of six pairs of trousers and two jackets from Go Outdoors on March 2, 2023.

Fiscal depute Karen Poke told Sheriff Sara Matheson that none of the goods were recovered.

The 30-year-old also admitted driving with 32mcgs of cocaine in his system in North Kessock on November 3, 2022 when the safe limit is 10mcgs.

He also pleaded guilty to driving without insurance.

Defence solicitor Rory Gowans told the sheriff that his client was currently on remand for a serious matter to be dealt with in due course.
