A woman used a friend's card details to order more than 200 takeaways over the course of 17 months, at a total cost of almost £6,000.

Brittany Narbett, 24, had stored her victim’s bank information on her phone after the two of them ordered a meal to be delivered to her home using the Uber Eats app.

She then kept using the card to pay for her takeaways – at a rate of 12 a month – for a year and a half until a mutual friend told the victim what was going on. He then contacted police.

When confronted by officers, Narbett, from Sandy Lane East, Dereham, denied knowingly using the bank details and claimed it had been an accident.

However, appearing at Norwich Magistrates' Court on September 21, she pleaded guilty to 14 counts of fraud by false representation, with 197 further offences taken into consideration.

The court heard that the victim had visited her home on April 30, 2021, and lent her his bank card to pay for a delivery.

By the time she was caught, in October 2022, she had used the card to pay for 211 takeaways, costing a total of £5,772.80.

Narbett was sentenced to 20 days of rehabilitative activity requirement, a 12-month mental health treatment programme and ordered to pay her victim the full cost of the takeaways.

Duncan Etchells, supervisor of the Operation Converter team - a specialist police unit set up to increase detection rates - said: “Narbett had been using the victim’s card details for over a year and cost him nearly £6,000.

“I am pleased that the victim will now receive this money back through compensation and hope that the measures put in place will prevent Narbett from reoffending and allow her to move forward.”
