Borders man stole vapes and cash register after High Street shop break-in

Fifty-six-year-old Patrick Loyden, of Galalaw Road, also admitted a shoplifting offence by stealing food and alcohol from the Co-op in Selkirk, and stealing a quantity of tools from a joiner’s workshop. Sheriff Peter Paterson said he would call for a Criminal Justice Social Work Report and a Restriction of Liberty Order assessment to see if there was any alternative to a custodial sentence. Sentence was deferred at Selkirk Sheriff Court until April 28.
