A THIEF has been handed a curfew order after stealing groceries from a Herefordshire supermarket.
Kelly Botham entered a guilty plea to one count of theft from a shop when she appeared before district judge Ian Strongman in Kidderminster in October.
Prosecutor Sumreen Afsar told the court that the 40-year-old had stolen a quantity of grocery items of an unknown value from Co-operative Stores in Bromyard, Herefordshire, on January 19.
Botham, who is of Avon Road, Worcester, was handed a 16-week curfew order monitored by electronic tag requiring her to remain at her home address between 6pm and 6am daily.
