A suspected shoplifter was arrested and charged in Margate after trying to raid the same shop for a second time.
On Friday 26 January, nine containers of CeraVe skincare products worth £164 were reported stolen from the High Street branch of Boots.
A suspect was identified following a review of CCTV and on the following Monday (29 January) the same woman returned to the store, prompting a security guard to broadcast her details via the ‘Shop Safe’ radio to Kent Police.
The High Street’s beat officer PC Stephen Hailey made his way towards the location and made an arrest.
Iuliana Lupu, 37, of Chalkpit Hill, Chatham, has since been charged with theft and bailed to appear at Medway Magistrates’ Court on Friday 1 March.
