A MAN and a woman from Keighley are due to be sentenced for stealing and selling laptops from a hospital cancer ward.

Kim Ager, 35, and Matthew Ingham, 37, of Hardwick Street, Knowle Park, were tried at Leeds Magistrates Court yesterday. The court heard how laptop computers and other electrical items had been stolen from Ward 31 in Leeds General Infirmary in July last year.

The computer equipment had been donated to the ward by the Candlelighters Charity.

Ager, who had been accused of receiving stolen goods, pleaded guilty to the charge.

Ingham, who was charged with four counts of theft, was found guilty.

The pair were both granted bail and committed to Crown Court for sentencing on February 24.
