A MAN who committed burglary and handling offences has been given a last chance to steer clear of drugs.
David Watson was placed on a 12-months drug treatment and testing order when he appeared before a judge for sentencing at Preston Crown Court.
Judge Edward Slinger told the 29-year-old "It is not a let off. The requirements of you will be intensive and if you do not co-operate fully you will quickly be brought back before the court and you could expect be sentenced and face a substantial custodial sentence".
Watson of Howarth Avenue, Church, was dealt with for two burglaries and four offences of handling.
