A Penparcau woman has been fined after pleading guilty to stealing £1,500 worth of clothes from an Aberystwyth shop and two drug possession charges.

Emma Honey, of 68 Maesheli, appeared for sentencing before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 18 February.

The 48-year-old pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to stealing clothes worth £1,500.78 from the Mountain Warehouse store in Aberystwyth between 1 and 20 December last year.

Honey also pleaded guilty to possession of a quantity of pregabalin and cannabis at her home address on 19 December.

Magistrates fined Honey £80, and handed her a community order to include rehabilitation.

She must also pay prosecution costs of £85 as well as a surcharge to fund victim services of £114.
