He also admitted to a charge of receiving stolen goods, having been in possession of a stolen moped which was valued at £2,800 on July 18, 2018 in Great Missenden.
Ali was sentenced to one month in prison for receiving stolen goods, and two months for the theft. The two sentences will run concurrently, meaning he will serve two months in total.
He was also ordered to pay £128 costs.
