Suspended prison sentence for Lisburn woman who stole from Greens Foodfare
A Lisburn woman has been given a suspended prison sentence after pleading guilty to stealing from a city centre shop.
The court heard that on February 26, 2020 police attended Greens Foodfare in Bow Street, Lisburn, following a report of the theft of grocery items.
It was stated that a female was observed on CCTV placing a number of items into a plastic bag and leaving without paying. The total value of the goods was said to be £37.41.
The defendant, Bernadette Fee (42), whose address was given as Knockburn Crescent, was detained by the police.
During sentencing District Judge Rosie Watters commented: “It has taken a long time for this to be dealt with.”
She sentenced the defendant to one month in prison, which she suspended for 12 months.
Ms Watters told the defendant: “I am hoping you will never be in trouble again and you have sorted your life out.”
