A Corby man who treated himself to a full car service and repairs at a local garage neglected to pay for the work just before Christmas last year.

He asked for a full service and for replacement parts to be fitted to his car at Lodge Tyres in Pilot Road.

But when it came to paying the bill, 25-year-old Brian Timothy Joyce, from Dunlop Close in Corby, refused to pay the £250.

He was before Northampton Magistrates’ Court on Monday (November 13) to face a single charge of theft.

Magistrates ordered Joyce to pay back the cash to the garage and was given a community order which includes 15 rehabilitation requirement days.

No order was made for costs due to Joyce’s lack of means but he was made to pay a £114 victim surcharge at a rate of £20 per month.

Joyce has a previous conviction for knife-carrying.
