A shoplifter who was part of a group that tried to steal more than £1,000 worth of items from Primark's Birmingham store using a suitcase and lift trick has been spared jail. The four females were stopped by security after they were spotted acting suspiciously.
One member of the group, Bianca Tudor, was charged with theft and pleaded guilty via a Romanian interpreter at Birmingham Magistrates' Court. The 21-year-old from Markby Road, Winson Green was fined £350 as well as £185 costs and a £35 victim surcharge.
Tudor's lawyer said she had “no need to steal” and simply made a “stupid decision”, as well as claiming that she was “frightened” during the hearing.
