🚨 Beware of Thieves in Cardiff! 🚨
Meet Rosie Chung, the brazen 34-year-old who went on a six-week stealing spree across the city, making off with over £1,000 worth of stolen goods! From candles and chocolates to laundry items, coffee, and even bedding, Rosie had sticky fingers in all sorts of shops. Her shopping hotspots? Popular places like Farmfoods in Ely, Co-Op in Fairwater and Llandaff, Homesense in Llanishen, The Family Shopper, and even Tesco in Culverhouse Cross.
But that’s not all! Rosie didn’t stop at shops—she found an unlocked car in Riverside and couldn’t resist. Spotted on CCTV, she dropped her own coat and bags just to nab a flashy holdall from the car’s front seat. Talk about audacious! 🎒🚗
Local police officers didn’t need long to catch her. Recognising her from the CCTV footage was a quick job, leading to her arrest at her home in Ely. Once in court, Rosie admitted to a whopping 13 offences! Her list of crimes included eight counts of shop theft, two frauds, a theft from a motor vehicle, a public order offence, and an assault on a retail worker. 😲
In the end, Rosie was sentenced to 52 weeks behind bars. Neighborhood inspector Tim Ursell expressed his satisfaction with the outcome, hoping it would bring some peace to the many victims involved. 👮♂️
Stay alert, Cardiff folks—always lock your cars and keep an eye on your belongings while shopping. Let’s keep our community safe! 🛡️
