A teenage boy has been sentenced by the courts for stealing hundreds of pounds worth of vape products from petrol stations and a shop.

The 14-year-old Poole boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to three counts of theft.

He appeared at a youth court hearing sitting in Poole on March 28, where he was made subject to a nine-month you rehabilitation order.

Court papers stated he stole £305.49 worth of vape items from Esso in Ringwood Road, Poole, on February 9 last year and £160 worth of goods from Co-op in Good Road, Poole.

Four days earlier he took an unknown value of similar products four days earlier from the Esso premises.

The boy’s parent was ordered to pay £60 compensation by the courts.
