STEALING a fridge freezer resulted in a prison sentence for one man last week.
Steven Chalmers, 28, of no fixed abode, appeared for sentencing at Dunfermline Sheriff Court on Wednesday after he had previously admitted that on March 31 this year, he stole the appliance from a flat in High Street, Cowdenbeath,
Sheriff Charles Macnair ordered him to return to prison to serve the remain 58 days of a previous sentence and he will then serve an additional four months for the recent offence.
He told Chalmers: "When you took this tenancy, you took responsibility for the items and it seems to me that is a breach of trust to sell the fridge freezer."
