A woman stole more than £400 of property from three shops in Blackpool.
Susan Boyle, 26, of Mowbray Road, Fleetwood, pleaded guilty to three offences of theft.
Jim Mowbray, prosecuting, said Boyle stole £344 worth of spectacle frames from Specsavers on September 8, followed by three cordless phones from B&M Bargains in October.
In November she took make-up costing £78 from Wilkinsons.
During one of the offences she was under a suspended prison sentence for theft.
The prosecutor added: “It is the prosecution’s submission she clearly has no intention of stopping shoplifting. It’s what she does.”
David Charnley, defending, said his client had issues with drugs and was on a rehabilitation order from the court.
Boyle’s case was adjourned and she will be sentenced at a later date by Blackpool magistrates.
