A prolific thief who 'caused misery' to shop owners has been ordered to stay away from a town centre.
Nicola Gregory appeared before a court last month after she was caught stealing meat and alcohol from a supermarket on Mill Street in Macclesfield. The 45-year-old pleaded guilty to theft on December 14.
She was handed an eight-week sentence suspended for 12 months at Chester Magistrates’ Court. She will have to wear an electronic tag and was also handed a two-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO), Cheshire Police said.
