A grandmother stole items from Poundland, including toothpaste, because she has no money. Linsey Perry, a grandmother of three, admitted three counts of theft.
Perry had 14 previous convictions, eight for thefts over the last four years. The hearing was told the defendant was hungry, and that was why she took some of the items. Judge Stuart Rafferty QC told the defendant: "I know times are hard."
He asked Perry if her financial situation has improved, and whether she has found accommodation, to which the defendant said yes, reports NottinghamshireLive.
