The court heard how the accused had 26 previous convictions, mainly for theft.

The court heard how she was currently serving a four month sentence, on a previous theft matter, and due for release on July 24, next.

Judge Desmond Zaidan ordered that the accused is sentenced to three months in prison, to run concurrent.
