Caerphilly woman steals goods worth £1,000 from Tesco
Young mum Rebecca Skym, 24, targeted the Tesco supermarket in Caerphilly over a four-day period last month, Newport Magistrates' Court was told. The serial shoplifter was remanded in custody after she pleaded guilty to stealing: Groceries worth £79 on April 27 Meat valued at £129.50 on April 28 Alcohol and meat worth £224 on April 28 A £329 TV on April 29 Coca-Cola Zero valued at £11 on April 29 Alcohol worth £294 on April 30 The defendant, of Caerphilly Road, Senghenydd, Caerphilly is due to be sentenced on May 30. Skym committed these six offences of theft while she was the subject of a suspended prison sentence imposed in January for similar matters. On that occasion, she avoided jail after stealing £3,000 worth of food, clothes, alcohol and homeware. The defendant pleaded guilty to 11 counts of theft at stores across south Wales, dating between September and December 2024. Cardiff Crown Court heard how Skym stole £1,000 worth of clothing from retail giant Next. She also took joints of meat worth £400 from Tesco in Caerphilly as well as four bottles of vodka worth £267 and 10 bottles of gin valued at £240. From Aldi, she stole 17 joints of meat worth £176.32, before stealing 11 fragrance sets worth £765 from Superdrug, and 10 perfume sets valued at £350 from Boots in Talbot Green. She was spared an immediate custodial sentence due to her "previous good character" as she had no convictions recorded against her. Upon sentencing, the judge also considered that as a young mother, her children's lives would have been "destabilised" if he were to sent her to jail. She was sentenced to 30 weeks imprisonment, suspended for 12 months, and ordered to complete a 15-day rehabilitation activity requirement, carry out 150 hours of unpaid work and pay a victim surcharge.
