A woman who pocketed more than £500,000 from shoplifting and then returning the stolen items for refunds is facing prison after being convicted of a "lucrative" scam. A court was told that Narinder Kaur "shoplifted on an industrial scale", travelling across the UK to do so.
Kaur, 53, who is also known as Nina Tiara, "made it her full-time career" to steal goods and then return them for refunds that she wasn't entitled to. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said she had hit shops more than 1,000 times over a period of four years. She is now facing prison time.
Giovanni D’Alessandro, senior Crown prosecutor at CPS West Midlands, said: "Kaur undertook fraud on a long-standing and wide-ranging manner. It was a very lucrative full-time job, which demonstrably made her over half a million pounds over this period of offending.
