'Prolific' shoplifter jailed for 10 weeks after police turn up at her house

A "prolific" shoplifter has been jailed for 10 weeks after pleading guilty to a string offences.

Ann Marie Fitzpatrick, 49, of Rayton Spur, Worksop, was sentenced to 10 weeks' imprisonment when she attended court on December 17.

Police attended Fitzpatrick's home address on December 16 after it was reported she had committed a shop theft at a local store.

Fitzpatrick was already subject to bail conditions having been charged with two other shoplifting offences and the latest theft breached those conditions.

Fitzpatrick pleaded guilty to all three shop thefts.

Worksop town centre beat manager Eoin Wilson said: "Fitzpatrick is a prolific shoplifter who has targeted Worksop’s Town Centre stores at an alarming rate and continued to commit offences over the festive period.

"This sentence should act as a wake-up call for her and we hope it will be the last Christmas she decides to do this."
