Cwmbran Woman Jailed for Fabric Conditioner Theft Spree

Serial shoplifter Cara Knight has been sentenced to 32 weeks in prison after stealing food and nine bottles of Lenor fabric conditioner from businesses in Cwmbran.

The 24-year-old targeted Heron Foods and a Premier store between April 19 and May 10, prosecutor Lucy Goodridge told Newport Magistrates’ Court.

Knight, of Trem Twynbarlwm, Two Locks, Cwmbran, was already subject to a 16-week suspended prison sentence for similar offences imposed last month.

District Judge Sophie Toms activated the suspended sentence and ordered Knight to pay compensation to the affected businesses.
