A mum-of-five was forced to spend a night in a police cell after she was caught shoplifting in a Birmingham Iceland store, a court heard.
Yes, those are consequences of being caught stealing though not often enough these days for our diverse enrichers…
Daniella Costea felt she 'had no other option' when she hid £150 worth of items, such as medicines and food, in her skirt to steal on Monday, June 29.
That must be some skirt!
The 34-year-old mum 'suffered a loss of liberty' as she was arrested and spent 16 hours in police custody, Birmingham Magistrates' Court heard this week.
Costea pleaded guilty to theft on Tuesday (July 21) and was issued a fine by the court - which heard "money was extremely tight" for the family.
And she’ll no doubt steal again to pay the fine! Hmm, it’s almost like the magistrates hadn’t thought of that, eh, Reader?
The chair of the Magistrates' told her: "It turns out this wasn't your finest hour. We recognise that you spent a night in a police station which must have been quite an unpleasant experience for you." She must now pay £197 to the court - including the £80 fine.
No, chairman, it’d be an unpleasant experience for you and your fellow middle class compatriots on the bench, but for her, it’s a work-related accident.
