A TEENAGER from north Essex has been handed a six-month conditional discharge after stealing a specialised £1,500 bike.
The teen, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before North Essex Youth Court at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on July 1.
He admitted a charge of burglary after stealing the specialised bike from a garage on July 15 last year.
He was handed a six-month conditional discharge, which means he will face no further punishment if he does not commit another offence within that period.
He must also pay a £17 surcharge to fund victim services.
