Jailed: Shoplifting next-door neighbours who stole perfume worth £400 in Shrewsbury caught in Telford
Two shoplifting next-door neighbours who stole hundreds of pounds worth of perfume have been jailed.
Natalie Jinks and Jordan Cove, both 27, were caught stealing in Telford during "Operation Graft", a police initiative involving plain clothes cops trying to catch offenders in the act.
The pair carried out three joint thefts - two from Boots in Shrewsbury on March 3 and 7. In one of those they stole £400 worth of perfume. Cove also admitted a further solo theft of Boots in Shrewsbury on March 12, in which he stole perfume of an unknown amount.
Their other joint shoplifting offence was on February 1 at a Co-op store in Telford, where they stole £30 of laundry detergent. Both offenders were on bail when they committed the thefts.
Jinks, of Willowfield, Woodside, Telford, pleaded guilty at Kidderminster Magistrates Court to three counts of theft.
