He was sentenced to a four-month curfew from 7pm to 7am and ordered to pay £750 compensation by Blackpool magistrates.

Presiding magistrate, Ron Bell, told him: “This was a rash action which was not worth it. Please think carefully next time.”

John McLaren, defending, said Shaw had decided to sell his microwave because he needed to pay back his parents £10 they had lent him.
