A Nottinghamshire woman who stole low value items because she was "hungry" has spoken out after being sentenced. Linsey Perry, a grandmother of three, appeared at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday, June 9.
She pleaded guilty to three counts of theft while serving a suspended sentence. The court was told Perry had 14 convictions, of which eight were thefts between 2019 and 2023.
Some of the low value items include toothpaste that Perry stole for personal use, and a coffee bag that was a gift for her pregnant daughter, the court heard. The hearing was told that the defendant said she was "hungry" and that is why she took some of the items.
