THE trial of a man accused of stealing thousands of pounds worth of toiletries from a Hereford supermarket has been adjourned until the new year.
Patrick Stokes was due to appear for trial for two counts of theft from a shop before magistrates in Hereford in December, after his trial was adjourned from a previous date in September.
The court heard from prosecutor Paul John that the 33-year-old is accused of stealing Oil of Olay products and razor blades worth a total of £3,461 from Hereford's Sainsbury's supermarket on June 4.

He is also accused of stealing electric toothbrush heads and Nicorette gum, spray, and patches worth a total of £355 from Ludlow's Sainsbury's supermarket on June 4.
Stokes has entered not guilty pleas to both charges.
Stokes, who is of Northavon Close, Eccles, Manchester, was granted bail, with conditions banning him from entering Ludlow and Hereford Sainsbury's supermarkets, and will now appear before magistrates in Hereford for trial on March 27.
