A WOMAN with an 'appalling record' for shoplifting has been jailed for three months the day after committing her latest offence.

Lisa Lock, of Cedar Road, Leigh, admitted stealing £70 of alcohol from a Tesco store in the town on Sunday when she appeared at Wigan and Leigh Magistrates' Court on Monday.

The 39-year-old was jailed having previously received three suspended prison sentences on November 10 for a spate of shoplifting offences committed in October.

The court heard that her 'appalling record for similar offences' includes stealing £150 of coffee from Aldi in Leigh on October 25, a further £300 of coffee from the same store the following day and £59.20 of soap powder from a Wilko shop on October 30.

She was given a total of two months in jail suspended for those offences.

Lock will now serve that time in prison as well as a further four weeks for the latest offence.

She was ordered to pay a victim service surcharge of £115 for the Tesco theft.

Sonia Jones, of the same address, has also been charged with stealing the alcohol.

The 32-year-old denied the offence at the magistrates' court on Monday.

She was remanded on bail until her trial on March 27 and is barred from entering the Tesco store.
