A Long Eaton woman has been banned from her local Home Bargains store after defecating on a bench outside.

Zoe Birkinshaw also stole from the shop in Tamworth Road on two separate occasions.

Derby Magistrates’ Court heard how the 26-year-old, of Grasmere Road, had defecated on the bench outside Home Bargains at about 1.45pm on November 26 last year, reports the Ilkeston Advertiser.

She also stole six pairs of gloves and a bottle of shampoo from the store on December 29; and also ten bottles of Sure deodorant, ten packs of ladies’ gloves and two cans of pop valued at £36 from the store on January 4.
