Victoria Taylor, 31, from Barry was made the subject of two-year criminal behaviour order in February which she has breached.

The defendant, of Norwood Crescent, was locked up for 16 weeks at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court for a number of thefts.

She pleaded guilty to stealing the following:

  • Stealing clothes and underwear worth £90 belonging from Peacocks in Penarth on February 5
  • Steaks valued at £32.55 from Tesco Express in Dinas Powys on April 15
  • Three packets of cheese worth £13.20 belonging to Co-op in Barry on April 16
  • Coffee and Ferrero Rocher chocolates valued at £46.50 from One Stop on April 16
  • Meat and cheese worth at £77.85 from One Stop on April 22

Taylor also admitted being in breach of her criminal behaviour order.

The order prohibits her from going to the following shops:

  • Any Tesco store in Barry and Penarth
  • Any One Stop Shop in Barry
  • Asda in Barry
  • Co-op, Colcot Road, Barry
  • Home Bargains, Palmerston Road, Barry

The terms of the order also state that Taylor must not display any disorderly, threatening or abusive behaviour within any retail shops in Barry and Penarth.

She must also leave when instructed to do so.

When the order was put in place, PC Adrian Muscat, anti-social behaviour co-ordinator at South Wales Police, said: “South Wales Police work closely with retailers and businesses to protect them from crime and anti-social behaviour committed by individuals like Victoria Taylor.

“Taylor’s behaviour has caused persistent and continuous harassment and distress to the communities of Barry and Penarth.”
