The judge noted he had made 'good progress' in recent months.
Eugene Cantillon, 46, of High Street, Market Drayton, had previously admitted stealing from The Phone Shop in Pride Hill on November 21, 2022, when he appeared at Shrewsbury crown Court on Wednesday.
She said:"There were three impact points on glass window and the defendant used a hole to put his arm through to take the vapes but the crown accepts he was not the one who smashed the window."The court heard that Cantillon had five previous convictions for 11 offences and had stolen the vapes while on a suspended sentence for possession of a bladed article.
But he said:"I do have to mark the seriousness of the offence of that kind and committing the offence during a suspended sentence."
