A MAN has admitted stealing nearly £2,000 from a Hampshire school.

Kristofer Healy, 22, of Moorgreen Road, West End, took £1,822.50 from Wildern School in Hedge End between June 8 and December 24 last year, Southampton magistrates heard.

They gave him a community order, which means he has to do 150 hours of unpaid work and pay back the money within the next 12 months.

He must also pay a £60 victim surcharge.
