Kelly Freestone, 40, plagued Beeston's shops after being released from prison
A thief has been banned from a Nottinghamshire town's Co-op, B&M, and Home Bargains after raiding shops for cheese and meat. Kelly Freestone, 40, plagued Beeston 's shops after being released from prison on March 25, 2024.
CCTV filmed Freestone entering the Co-op on Wilmot Lane on April 5, where she filled her basket with packs of cheese and left without paying. Freestone, formerly of Ribblesdale Court, Chilwell, returned the next day and took around £150 worth of meat. Freestone was later arrested in connection with the thefts and charged. She pleaded guilty to two counts of shop theft and was jailed for six months when she appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Friday, April 12.
“Her brazen and persistent offending has had a considerable impact on local businesses, so I am pleased we have now been able to give them some respite by removing Freestone from our streets and obtaining this three-year order banning her from entering stores. “Whilst I hope Freestone gets the support she needs to change her appalling behaviour, if she goes on to breach her criminal behaviour order she will find herself back before the courts and could face being sent back to prison.”
