The aisles of Kidderminster's Tesco store were regularly targeted by Katie Wadsworth

Katie Wadsworth was handed a nine-month prison term when she appeared at Kidderminster Magistrates Court on May 27.

She admitted six counts of theft from across three stores, offences which triggered a suspended jail sentence she received in March.

Between May 6-8 she stole energy drinks worth £18 from Sainsbury's in Kidderminster, before going on to target the town's Tesco store four times in the space of 12 days.

On May 10 she stole meat and milkshakes worth £40 and then took make up worth £56 six days later.
