Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Monday, January 29, how Angela Lane, 45, of Beighton Street, Ripley, stole £351.36 worth of groceries from Tesco Extra, on Lockoford Lane, Chesterfield, on December 21, as she fled with a trolley full of goods.

Prosecuting solicitor Lynn Bickley told a previous hearing Lane’s trolley-dash theft was committed after she had also stolen Gucci Guilty and Dolce and Gabbana fragrances valued at £243 from Boots, on Lower Pavement, in Chesterfield, on November 28.
