A SHOPLIFTER who assaulted store staff has been given a suspended prison sentence.

Lisa Lock, of The Beeches, Atherton, was found guilty of assaulting a male in Wigan on June 17 and admitted attacking a female in Leigh on May 11.

She also pleaded guilty to failing to a court no show on September 6 having been released on bail and was convicted of failing without reasonable excuse to comply with supervision requirements following her release from prison.

Lock appeared at Wigan and Leigh Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
