She was arrested on June 4 after she set off security alarms when stealing from a shop in the Parade in Leamington.

A member of staff circulated a description of Donnelly, and officers located her nearby.

PC Ian Wainwright said: “This is a great result showing joined up work between retailers and police. Donnelly has been causing misery to shop workers and business owners across the south of the county.

“We will continue to work with local businesses to stamp out this type of offending.”
