Two mums who stole £5,000 worth of sunglasses on two visits to John Lewis and tried their luck a third time have been spared jail because of their children.
Lindsey Jordan, 40 and Paula Richardson, 35, "worked together" on their shoplifting missions, with Richardson stealing the glasses from the Trafford Centre store in Manchester and Jordan acting as a look out and distracting staff.
Their first spree was on April 19 this year, when the pair stole eight pairs of sunglasses worth from £200 to £481 each, and valued at a total of £3,164, Manchester Evening News reports.
