The 38-year-old was given a community order with drug-dependency treatment, told to pay £62 compensation and £180 costs.

But Lloyd, of Manor Court, Pontefract, was also given the CBO which says she must stay away from the shops she had stolen from.

If she breaches the CBO, she will be arrested and likely to be jailed.
