Woman, 36, sentenced for shopliftings at Co-op in Netley

A 36-year-old woman from Southampton has been sentenced for two shopliftings in Netley last August

Michelle Christina Dando, of International Way, Southampton pleaded guilty to the offences, which both occurred at the Co-op on Station Road.

On Thursday 24 August 2023, she entered the store and stole a bar of Galaxy chocolate. Four days later, on Monday 28 August, she visited the shop again and took two packs of cooked chicken and Ginsters slices, making no attempt to pay for the items.

At Southampton Magistrates’ Court on Monday (22 January), Dando received a community order, rehabilitation activity requirement and was ordered to pay £13 in compensation.
