Ban for blind drug addict

A BLIND shoplifter who stole to feed his drug habit has been banned from entering West Lothian.

William Flynn, 43, was caught stealing perfume and aftershave from Debenhams in Livingston. The addict, from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was ordered not to set foot in the sheriffdom until he returns to Livingston Sheriff Court for sentence in six months. Flynn, who is registered as blind, yesterday pleaded guilty to shoplifting just before Christmas.
