A PROLIFIC shoplifter has been jailed again after her latest string of offences.

In July 2020, Kirsten Hocking, of no fixed address, was given a five-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) aimed to curb her offending.

As part of the order she is banned from entering a number of retail premises in Worthing and entering a number of surrounding roads.

In January 2021, she was jailed for 26 weeks after pleading guilty to multiple charges of theft, which was in breach of her CBO.

Between March 25 and April 21 2022, she committed further offences in the town centre.

She stole items including washing powder, make-up, aftershave and food from shops including Wilko, Tesco and Poundland.

The 30-year-old was subsequently arrested and charged with five counts of shoplifting and six counts of breaching her Criminal Behaviour Order.

She was convicted at Lewes Crown Court on May 20 and sentenced to 24 months’ imprisonment.
