A thief who stole five copies of the smash-hit Disney film, Frozen, has appeared at court.

The bench at Redhill Magistrates' Court on Monday (November 3) ruled they should Let Him Go with a suspended sentence after he admitted stealing the DVDs, worth £59.95, from Boots in Redhill the previous day.

John Holiday, 25, of Academy Gardens, in Croydon, was given an eight-week prison sentence, suspended for six months.

Magistrates ruled that during those six months he must have treatment for drug dependency.

Holiday was also ordered to pay £87 costs and a victim surcharge of £80.

He stole the DVDs after a 12-month conditional discharge was imposed by South London Magistrates' Court, on June 12, because of shoplifting.

No action was taken for breaching the conditional discharge.
