A serial shoplifter who was spared jail four times because she was a single mum has finally been locked up for stealing thousands of pounds worth of designer sunglasses.
Kayleigh Bradley, 37, was repeatedly handed suspended sentences after she complained about her difficult childhood and how she had been in and out of care from the age of ten.
However Bradley, who has 128 offences on her record, continued to prey on shopkeepers using a foil lined bag and a small 'detagger' she had bought on the internet to beat the security alarms.
In her latest spree, she was caught stealing more than £4,000 worth of goods from stores at the Cheshire Oaks retail complex in Ellesmere Port over a two month period.
This included the theft of £3,213 worth of designer sunglasses from an opticians on three separate occasions.
