A 66-year-old man with over 350 convictions who was previously described in court as a "career criminal" has now admitted stealing meat worth £57 from Lynas Food Outlet in Ballymena.
Noel Campbell, with an address listed as Larne Road in Ballymena, and originally from Larne, took the meat on April 5 this year.
He was not present at Ballymena Magistrates' Court on Thursday but a defence solicitor said it will be a guilty plea.
The case was adjourned to May 8.
At a previous court, District Judge Nigel Broderick had said: "You sometimes hear the phrase 'career criminal' and I think he falls into that sad category".
