A man who stole a handbag from a vehicle outside a Saltcoats nursery school has been jailed.

Barry Fraser, 39, pled guilty to two charges at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court last week.

Fraser entered an unsecure vehicle at Treetops Nursery on July 11 and stole a handbag and contents.

He was also found in possession of heroin at his home in Ayr, on the same date.

Fraser was sentenced to 19 weeks in prison.
