An Aldershot woman has been charged with shoplifting after items worth more than £550 were stolen from a store in Farnborough.

We were called at 2.44pm on 10 December to a report that food items worth £62.40 had been stolen from the shop at the BP fuel station on Prospect Road.

Officers from the Farnborough Neighbourhood Policing Team attended the scene and arrested a woman nearby.

Margaret Prunty, 46, of Grosvenor Road, Aldershot, has since been charged with nine counts of theft from a shop.

It comes after officers received reports that items worth £590 had been stolen from the same store on Prospect Road in November and December this year.

Prunty appeared at Basingstoke Magistrates Court yesterday (December 11), and was remanded into custody. She is due to appear at the same court on December 31.
