A THIEF who made off before paying for £90 worth of food and drinks has been ordered to pay it back – and more.

Rocky Redford dishonestly left the Colchester venue on October 12 after racking up a bill of £90.40.

Colchester Magistrates’ Court heard the 38-year-old had consumed food and alcohol before leaving.

Redford, of Marsh Crescent, Rowhedge, admitted the offence when he appeared in court.

Magistrates ordered him to undertake 25 days of a rehabilitation activity.

He must also pay £100 in compensation.
