Nicki Masterson, 23, of Kingsway, Earsham, Bungay, pleaded guilty to theft from a shop at Great Yarmouth Magistrates Court on January 6.

Richard Mann, mitigating, said Masterson understood she would have to compensate the supermarket, but argued the prosecution s request for £105 court costs was unreasonable.
