Make-up thief caught hiding goods in sleeve

A shoplifter who stole make-up from a Douglas chemist has been fined £300. 

50-year-old Lynne Lesley McGivern, of Watterson Lane in Willaston, pocketed £25 worth of goods from Hemensleys Pharmacy on January 27th. 

At Douglas Courthouse last week she pleaded guilty to the offence - the court was told she was seen browsing the display for an "unusual" amount of time before concealing the items in her sleeve.

Magistrates also ordered her to pay costs of £125 and compensation to the pharmacy for the goods she'd stolen.
