Kristie Mcintosh, 37, was first arrested on April 2 after stealing £150 worth of goods from the Co-op on London Road, Bromley. Despite pleading guilty to two thefts at Bromley Magistrates’ Court the following day, she was allowed to walk free with just £91 in compensation to pay, having spent one night in custody.
Latest Theft Lands Mcintosh in Custody
On Thursday, May 8, Mcintosh was arrested again for stealing £72 worth of items from another Co-op branch. She appeared before Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Friday (May 9), where she pleaded guilty to the fresh offence.
According to the British Retail Consortium, shoplifting cost UK retailers nearly £1 billion in 2024.
