A man accused of shoplifting can expect a knock on the door after he failed to appear before magistrates at Lynn on Thursday. Barry Pegg, 68, of Highgate, Lynn, was due to appear accused of stealing alcohol worth £9.60, from Sainsbury’s in the town on June 26. However, he failed to turn up for the hearing on Thursday morning, and prosecutor Abdul Khan asked magistrates to issue a warrant for his arrest not backed for bail. The magistrates agreed to the request.
