A prolific ''industrial'' shoplifter made more than 500K by tricking stores, including John Lewis in Nottingham, into refunds for items she never bought. Narinder Kaur, also known as Nina Tiara, 53, deceived retailers into refunding her for items that she never actually purchased.
She has now been convicted of multiple counts of fraud and other offences across the country - from a list of major retailers. Tiara, of Cleverton, Wilts, was convicted of all 26 counts on an indictment which included fraud, possessing and transferring criminal property and perverting the course of justice following a trial that lasted four months at Gloucester Crown Court.
The prolific serial shoplifter made it her full-time career to travel all over the country, steal items from high street stores, and dishonestly claim refunds on those items, sometimes on multiple occasions, that she was not entitled to. The prosecution proved that Ms Kaur defrauded the various retailers more than a thousand times between July 2015 and February 2019.
