A shoplifter has been jailed for three months after a crime spree that saw her steal 23 cans of deodorant from Poundland and 40 bars of chocolate from Co-op.<\/p>\n
Michelle Blades, 41, has 82 offences to her name and was branded a ‘menace’ by a judge.<\/p>\n
She was arrested at the Ortongate Shopping Centre in Cambridgeshire by neighbourhood policing officers on patrol in the area.<\/p>\n
They were approached by a member of the public who pointed her out and said they had just seen her shoplifting from a nearby Poundland.<\/p>\n
CCTV footage shows Blades struggling to carry a supersized bag, which appears to be crammed with her loot of body spray stolen from the discount shop.<\/p>\n

She took Cadbury’s chocolate worth \u00a379.90 from a Co-op on November 20, as well as 40 chocolate bars from the same store a week later and 15 bottles of washing up liquid from the store on December 3.<\/p>\n
Afterwards, she stole \u00a380.50 worth of deodorant cans from Poundland in the Ortongate Shopping Centre.<\/p>\n
PC Carter-Lawrence, who investigated for Cambridgeshire Police, said: ‘Blades is a prolific shoplifter who has been targeting Co-op stores in the past.<\/p>\n
‘She has an active Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) which prohibits her from entering certain stores where she has been offending.<\/p>\n
‘Having this order in place gives us greater powers to stop Blades’ offending and put her before the courts if she breaches it.’<\/p>\n
