TWO Lothian men have been sentenced to nine months’ imprisonment for shoplifting goods worth almost £2,500 from Tesco supermarket in Oban.
Both Kevin Magee, 45, of 30 Deerhill, Broxburn, and 42-year-old Iain Arthurs, who was living at the same address, pleaded guilty to stealing alcohol and groceries from the store at Lochavulin Drive, on July 23.
Procurator fiscal Eoin McGinty told Oban Sheriff Court last Wednesday (August 17) that police had observed a silver Renault Megane driven by Magee in Oban town centre on July 23, with Arthurs in the back seat and two more passengers.
