'The court cannot give you any more chances'
A Nottingham grandmother with more than 60 court appearances for over 300 offences is back behind bars. Nottingham Crown Court heard how Amanda Cunningham’s latest crime spree saw her target supermarkets, one of which she was banned from entering earlier this year.
Jailing her for two years and three months, Judge Steven Coupland said: “Your life has been marred for many years with an addiction to drugs and no doubt many of the offences on your appalling record come from funding that addiction. You were given a chance in January with a suspended sentence and it is a great pity you were not able to take that opportunity.
Katrina Wilson, prosecuting, said Cunningham was handed a suspended sentence in January and a criminal behaviour order banning her from entering Tesco stores. She said that, by May, the defendant was back to stealing. “The defendant’s MO was to walk into the stores, bypass the security systems and wheel out the trollies loaded with bottles of alcohol.” Miss Wilson said Cunningham did this at the Ripley Sainsbury’s in Ripley, Tesco in Mansfield and John Lewis in Nottingham city centre with the toddler.
