A woman has admitted two counts of theft after targeting shops in Port Erin and Douglas.

Stephanie Newton, of the Edremony Estate in Port Erin, appeared before Deputy High Bailiff Rachael Braidwood at Douglas Courthouse.

The 41-year-old had denied the charges but changed her plea to admit stealing Jack Daniels from Port Erin Shoprite in October and fake nails from Claire's Accessories in Douglas in November.

The case was adjourned for sentencing until May 16 and Newton was bailed in the sum of £500.
