A Romanian mother who shoplifted £120,000 worth of perfume and cosmetics from Boots by stuffing the items down her skirt has been jailed for 32 months.
Bianca Mirica, 20, was part of an organised gang of female thieves who used various tactics to raid stores across London.
One gang member would distract security while the others ‘cleared the shelves’ before simply walking out, Southwark Crown Court heard.
And on one occasion, Mirica was spotted using a small key to open a locked cabinet filled with expensive products.
Following her arrest the mother-of-three denied she was part of a gang and told police that all the make-up and perfumes were for personal use.
