Subo teenager is fined £80

A TEENAGE thief who crept up singer Susan Boyle's stairs and took £9 from her trousers has been fined £70 and ordered to give the singer back her stolen change.

Scott Millar, 17, admitted he had wandered into Miss Boyle's house after claiming she had left the door ajar and took the cash from the pocket of a pair of slacks she had left hanging over the back of a chair.

Livingston Sheriff Court heard the star was returning to her house after recording a charity single in London when Millar rushed past her down the stairs as she opened the door. The court heard she was left "terrified" and "hysterical".

Millar, of Fulmar Brae, Livingston, entered the star's house on January 26 last year.

Sheriff Ian Duguid imposed a 70 fine and ordered Millar to pay 10 compensation to Miss Boyle.
