Emma O’Neill, aged 30, cashed the bogus refund at Next in the Telford Centre shopping mall on January 4 this year after taking a jacket and a jumper to the till.

Telford Magistrates Court was told how she first took the items to a changing room and got rid of the tags, before taking them to the till and getting the money.
