Thief stole more than £600 worth of make-up from shop in one month
A THIEF stole hundreds of pounds worth of stock from a Superdrug store in a single month.
Joanne Pugh, 32, targeted the chain’s shop in Basildon on three separate days in September.
She stole Revolution make up palettes on each occasion, with the overall cost of the stock taken thought to be more than £600.
Pugh, of Argent Street, Grays, denied three counts of theft after she was charged by police.

But she was convicted of the offences during a hearing at Southend Magistrates Court where she was ordered to pay £638 in compensation.
She was given a community order which means she must complete 100 hours of unpaid work within the next 12 months.
