A STICKY-FINGERED thief has been left lighter in the pocket for helping herself to goods from B&M.

At Glasgow Sheriff Court, Julie Gemmell pleaded guilty to stealing from the Robroyston store on April 28 this year.

The fiscal depute told the court that the household goods nicked were worth £47.92.

Gemmell's defence agent claimed that his client's actions were "spontaneous", however it was not the first time she had been caught stealing.

The 43-year-old single mum, of Ryehill Road, was fined £240.
