A man who stole money while onboard a bus has been placed on an electronic tag.

David Ross stole a quantity of cash while onboard a Stagecoach bus near Fullarton Street in Stevenston on November 4 of last year.

Ross, of Guthrie Road in Saltcoats, pleaded guilty to one charge when he appeared at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court last week.

The 39-year-old was placed on a Restriction of Liberty Order for five months.

The order requires that Ross remain within his home address between 7pm-7am every day for three months, and then between 7pm-7am on Fridays and Saturdays for a further two months.
