Addicted
He was remanded in custody to December 6 for pre-sentence reports by Deputy District Judge Alan Jones, sitting at Blackpool Magistrates' Court.
Malcolm Isherwood, prosecuting, said Kirby took chicken valued at £11 from Tesco Express and on November 16 stole two bedspreads worth £22 for B&M Bargains.
Robert Castle, defending, said: "The offences of theft occurred because he was addicted to heroin. Kirby has realised he has a problem and been in touch with a drug counsellor."
