A SUSPICIOUS bulge was a dead giveaway for staff who spotted a man trying to steal a bottle of gin.
Several hours later, the same man attempted to break into a Coles supermarket, after mixing medication with the bottle of alcohol he had stolen.
Reuben Olander was later unable to remember what he did over those few hours, Ipswich Magistrates Court heard this week.
Reuben Mark Olander, 26, from Redbank, pleaded guilty to stealing a bottle of London Gin from Liquorland in Town Square at Redbank Plains on October 24; and attempting to enter the premises of Coles in Ipswich by break on the evening of October 24/25.
