A WOMAN who stole a designer handbag has been jailed.
Letitia Wright, 39, stole the Armani Bag belonging to Jinan Wei from the Wafflemeister Cafe in West Street, Brighton on March 8.
Wright, of Ravens Court Park, London pleaded guilty to theft at Hastings Magistrates' Court on Monday.
She was sentenced to three weeks in prison.
Magistrates said they considered the crime more serious because the theft was targeted and a means to feed her drug habit.
Wright will also have to repay Ms Wei £200 compensation for the bag.
