A 31 year-old woman from Eastbourne has been sentenced at Court this week following a ‘string of shoplifting offences’ in the town.
Sussex Police said that Jodie Dawkins, who lives at The Goffs in Eastbourne, pleaded guilty to twelve counts of theft and shopliftings at Brighton Remand Court yesterday (Tuesday March 18th)
She has been sentenced to 41 weeks in prison, and also issued a three year CBO (criminal behaviour order) detailing a number of restrictions including not to enter certain shops within the town, police added.
Chief Inspector Nicklin, business crime lead for East Sussex said: “This is a great outcome for the businesses Dawkins targeted”.
“Prolific offenders cause the most harm to businesses, and we understand the financial and personal impact of shoplifting on business owners, employees and the wider community”.
