A 29-YEAR-OLD woman who shoplifted three times in a fortnight from a town’s Tesco store has been conditionally discharged for two years by Cheltenham Magistrates.

A man who took part in two of the thefts with her, and was also caught in possession of cannabis, was sentenced to a one-year community order with a requirement to do 60 hours of unpaid work.

Danielle Turley of Victoria Court, Commercial Road, Cinderford, pleaded guilty to stealing £88 worth of alcohol from the Tesco Cinderford shop on February 4, and then stealing an unknown value of meat the same day.

She further admitted that just over a week later, on February 12, she stole another £89.50 worth of alcohol from the store.

The magistrates gave her a two-year conditional discharge – meaning that no further action will be taken if she commits no other offences in that time.

She was ordered to pay £42.50 costs and a surcharge of £26 by instalments of £20 a month.

Jake Grindle, 32, of the same address, admitted the same meat theft charge and also stealing £89.50 worth of alcohol on February 12.

He also pleaded guilty to possessing 0.3grams of cannabis on Feb 13.

In addition to the community order requiring Grindle to do unpaid work, the magistrates ordered destruction of the cannabis.

Grindle was ordered to pay £42 costs and a £114 surcharge at the rate of £20 a month.
