A man has been sentenced in Griffith Local Court after pleading guilty to multiple charges.
The court heard Ross Barker was on bail awaiting sentencing when he used a stolen credit card to purchase items at Target in Griffith.
He was then charged with dishonestly obtaining a financial advantage by deception, remaining in custody until his sentencing.
In light of the fresh charges, Mr Barker was sentenced to two years imprisonment with a non-parole period of 15 months. The judge noted his early plea when handing down the sentence.
His licence was also suspended for 12 months.
