A serial thief has been banned from every Sainsbury's and Tesco store across the UK. Rachael Cole, 44, has also been banned from the B&M shop in Bordon, Hampshire, and has been prohibited from wearing a wig in every shop she enters.

During her shoplifting spree, Cole, of Warren Close in Whitehill, stole £964 worth of goods from shops in Hook and Liphook, in Hampshire, between November 10 and December 1. During one theft, she wore a wig to disguise herself while she stole seven bags of dog food from Sainsbury's. The 44-year-old appeared at Basingstoke Magistrates Court last Friday (December 5) and admitted four counts of theft.
