A serial shoplifter who perpetrated a widespread scheme of dishonesty and fraud against major high street retailers, resulting in losses of £500,000, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Fifty-four-year-old Narinder Kaur of Cleverton, Wiltshire, embarked on a nationwide 'shopping spree,' which defrauded prominent retailers such as Debenhams, John Lewis, House of Fraser, and TK Maxx by falsely obtaining refunds for stolen merchandise.
