Houghton-le-Spring thief breached FOUR suspended sentences after 'trolley dash' supermarket offence

A thief breached four separate suspended sentences by committing a "trolley dash" offence at a supermarket and driving offences.

Charlotte Brown carried out shop theft offences and was caught driving whilst disqualified after filling up her car at a petrol station and driving off without paying. The 40-year-old also filled up a trolley full of goods at an Asda and made off without paying. She then returned the next day and attempted to steal over £800 worth of goods but was stopped by security.

Brown, of Cedar Terrace, Houghton-le-Spring, appeared at Durham Crown Court on Monday via link from HMP Low Newton to be sentenced for making off without paying, theft, and driving whilst disqualified. She had pleaded guilty to the offences.
