A WOMAN is facing a possible prison sentence after she admitted committing multiple shoplifting offences during the Covid lockdown.
When arraigned at Limerick Circuit Court, Carrie Benn, 28, who has an address at Rutland House, Rutland Street admitted stealing hundreds of euro worth of goods from a variety of stores at different locations.
When the case was called, prosecuting barrister John O’Sullivan said a total of 20 charges had been preferred against Ms Benn and that 14 sample charges were to be put to her.
This, he said, was acceptable to the State on the basis that the ‘full facts’ relating to all matters will be outlined to the court during the sentencing hearing.
