David Armstrong broke into haulage business and stole cash

David Armstrong broke into the Freight Express premises in Penicuik and stole the quantity of money in February 2020.

Following the evidence, the 39-year-old was found guilty of the offence by Sheriff Matthew Auchincloss last Thursday.

Armstrong had his sentence deferred to next month for the preparation of social work reports.
