A MAN pinched some DIY products - so he could finish the building of a summer house for his daughter.

Barnsley Magistrates' Court was told that 43-year-old Mark Ball was in B&Q at Stairfoot and realised his money was running out.

He stole £76.34 of items, said Eric Bray, defending.

Mr Bray said Ball, of Mount Street, Ardsley, had been using money he had won after a benefits appeal to buy things for the summer house for the four-year-old girl.

"He foolishly took the items. He had been seen by staff and a store detective," Mr Bray added.

Jayne Ormrod, prosecuting, said the things Ball stole were recovered.

Ball, who admitted shoplifting, was given a 12-month conditional discharge, ordered to pay £85 in costs and a victim surcharge of £15.
