Patricia Phillips targeted Tesco stores across Sussex by claiming refunds for items she had never bought. It involved her going into a shop such as Tesco Extra in Shoreham, taking bedding off the shelves, slashing it or damaging it inside packaging, then taking it to a customer service desk to claim cash as if she had purchased a faulty item. At Lewes Crown Court it was revealed she has a 25-year career in making similar dodgy claims. It was revealed Phillips is “known to courts across Southern England” over her “brazen dishonesty”. She admitted criminal damage and fraud relating to Tesco stores at Shoreham, Eastbourne, Lewes, Eastbourne again, and Crawley between May 2 and May 21 last year.
