Trouble was, Maruera, 52, didn t pay for the $44.97 toys he took. Strang told the court Maruera worked six days a week for the city council as a truck driver. Judge Ian Carter said Maruera was last year given a sentence of come up if called upon within six months for similar offending. “You were given an opportunity then. It’s a sort of good behaviour bond. I’m prepared to do the same on this occasion.” So, after pleading guilty to shoplifting, Maruera was again sentenced to come up if called upon within six months, and pay Whitcoulls for the stolen toys. That means if he offends again within six months he’ll be punished for the toy theft.
