A WOMAN who stole hundreds of pounds of goods from a designer clothing store has been spared jail.

Bridget McDonagh pinched £300 of goods from Tessuti in Golden Square Shopping Centre, Warrington in November last year.

The 39-year-old was caught after Cheshire Police issued a CCTV appeal over the incident.

Only 10 days earlier, she had shoplifted clothes from the Tommy Hilfiger outlet at Cheshire Oaks.

McDonagh, of Newhall Road in Prescot, admitted two counts of theft and was handed a three-month imprisonment suspended for two years at Chester Crown Court by judge Steven Everett on Thursday, June 9.
