Two sisters raided a supermarket twice by wheeling out a trolley piled high with items worth more than £1,800.

Stacey Williams, 35, and Chelsea Lemmon, 29, were caught red-handed by security guards as they pushed the trolley away from Sainsbury’s on Queens Road in Norwich after failing to pay for items.

Norwich Magistrates Court was told the pair had arrived at the store by taxi on June 21 this year and had left with a trolley full of goods worth £1,252.

Lemmon, of Springbank, Norwich, and Williams, from Oldham, but who was visiting her sister at the time, both pleaded guilty to two charges of theft.

James Burrows, mitigating, said: “We are in the midst of a cost of living crisis and both are struggling financially.

“This was incredibly unsophisticated. They walked around putting items in a trolley and walked out.”

Both sisters were fined £80 and told to pay costs of £62.
