A prolific Greggs shoplifter stole more than £2,000 worth of soft drinks from a single shop.

Tiffany O'Neill, 28, targeted the same Greggs store on Electric Avenue in Brixton, south London.

She pleaded guilty to a total of 80 offences and was handed a 26-week sentence at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (11 November), suspended for 12 months.

In addition to the suspended sentence, a Criminal Behaviour Order was granted, banning her from Brixton town centre and all Greggs stores in the UK for two years.

The Metropolitan Police estimated that officers spent more than 120 hours on this case since O’Neill’s arrest in May.
