ByThe Courier Reporter
Two men who stole from a drunk man who had fallen in the street appeared at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.
Gary Rowley, 44, of James Bank Hostel, and George Sweeney, 44, of Almond Road, both Dunfermline, admitted that on September 12, in Pilmuir Street, they found a wallet and mobile phone and without attempting to discover the true owner of the items, stole them.
They belonged to a drunk man who had dropped them when he fell.
Sheriff Simon Collins imposed a community payback order on Sweeney with 120 hours of unpaid work, while Rowley will be assessed and will be sentenced on December 2.
