The Northern Echo website reports that a serial shoplifter has been jailed for more than 20 months to give shop owners a ‘rest from her activities’.

A judge told Swift, “It is quite clear to me that you are a regular and prolific shoplifter and the time has come when local shops need a break from your activities.”
