A MAN who went into a pharmacy twice to steal deodorants was known to staff who recognised him when they viewed CCTV footage.

Alan West, 41, of Douglas Grove, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to theft from the Alliance Pharmacy, Accrington Road.

He was made subject to a 56 day curfew between 7pm and 7am.

Roger Pickles, defending, said West had been having trouble with his benefits and had only received £44 in three weeks.
