A prolific former shoplifter has described turning her life around after stealing £30million worth of luxury goods in a 20-year crime spree.
Keeley Knowles, 42, targeted upmarket stores in Birmingham every morning, raking in up to £8,000 a day as she sold the stolen items on WhatsApp.
Funding her heroin addiction, Knowles fooled shop staff and was allowed her to 'get away with murder', ending up in jail '28 times here and three times in Amsterdam'.
But the former addict - who has even won an award since reconnecting with her family - says she has now turned her life around and is 18 months clean thanks to pioneering technology.
Knowles, of Kings Heath, Birmingham, said: 'I was fully involved in the lifestyle. I could easily do seven grams of heroin in a day. When my habit finished I was spending around £1,000 a day.
