A GREENOCK man has been charged with carrying out two alleged shoplifting raids at the town's Tesco store on consecutive days shortly before last Christmas.

John McElwee, 48, is accused of stealing aftershave and a quantity of children's toys on December 11 and 12 whilst on two bail orders.

McElwee, of Cathcart Street, has pleaded not guilty through lawyer Aidan Gallagher at the sheriff court, with the case due to call again on July 25.
