The 28-year-old, of Foster Road, Portsmouth, admitted taking the birds from Marks and Spencer in Portsmouth.

Prosecutor Graham Heath said Carey threatened to ‘stab’ a member of staff ‘if he tackled him’.

The court heard the former council worker is undergoing drug rehabilitation.

Neither of the birds were recovered.
