Burnley magistrates heard how Barrie Anne Pounder was one of three people seen on CCTV shoplifting.
Pounder admitted theft. The 36-year-old, of Briercliffe Road, Burnley, must pay £25 to M and S after the crime on August 8th. The bench told her she played a lesser role in what was a group action.

The solicitor added: "He selected some meat and placed it into a bag she was carrying. She didn't ask him to do that but didn't prevent it and in effect went along with it."
