A 22-year-old woman has been sent to prison for six weeks after admitting a string of offences in Chepstow, including two assaults and the theft of alcohol from a Marks & Spencer store.

The sentence

Tegan Bevan was handed the six-week custodial term at Newport Magistrates’ Court, where she was given credit for pleading guilty.

She was already behind bars when the case was dealt with – Bevan was a serving prisoner who had been recalled to custody.

The offences

The offending happened in Chepstow over two days, on 20 and 21 October 2026.

Bevan pleaded guilty to:
  • Two assaults
  • Stealing alcohol from a Marks & Spencer store

Her record

Dave Thomas, prosecuting, told magistrates that this was not Bevan’s first brush with the law, as she had previous convictions for shoplifting.

The court heard she is of no fixed abode.
