A TEENAGER and his friend stole a bike and attempted to steal a scooter after failing to buy cannabis, a court heard.
Jamie Bradford, 18, of Sandy Lane, admitted theft and attempted theft in Retford on 3rd November.
Worksop Magistrates’ Court heard that Bradford and a pal had gone to Retford to buy cannabis, but after failing to get any they went on a ‘thieving spree’.
Defence solicitor David Grant said Bradford was a lookout while his friend tried to steal the Aprilla scooter.
Both were heavily in drink and after being unable to take the scooter, Bradford ‘foolishly’ took the pedal cycle, he added.
Sentence was adjourned for a probation report until 13th December.
