Woman facing sentencing over string of shoplifting thefts including $1,348 pram
Tanisha Morritt awaits sentencing on multiple shoplifting charges. This includes stealing a $1,348 pram from Baby Bunting.
The 30-year-old Albury woman appeared in local court this week. She faced charges of theft and larceny spanning recent months.
In May, Tanisha Morritt stole the Nina TRIV Next pram. She placed her eight-week-old child in the new model and left her original pram behind.
Police later found her using the stolen pram at her home. Morritt also took women's sports clothing worth $619 from Rebel Sport.
She took two Indigenous-motif wallets from a framing store. In August she tried to enter a store where she had a banning notice.
Staff refused to serve her and she left empty-handed. Judge Sally McLaughlin adjourned sentencing to 25 November.
