An Aberdeen woman has admitted stealing more than £300 of designer clothes from a city centre department store.
Carol Hipson, 35, appeared in the dock at Aberdeen Sheriff Court in connection with the incident which happened at John Lewis on April 2 this year.
Fiscal depute Callum Thomson told the court the value of the goods stolen was £308 and that there was full recovery.
He added: “It was designer clothing.”
Hipson, whose address was given in court papers as Moir Drive in Aberdeen, pled guilty to a charge of shoplifting.
Defence agent Alex Burn asked for sentence to be deferred for reports, adding: “She has had significant alcohol difficulties in the past.
“There appears to have been a relapse. She’s still, unfortunately, struggling with her demons.”
Sheriff Andrew Miller deferred sentence until next month for a social work report to be prepared.
The John Lewis Partnership has pledged to reduce its operational carbon emissions to net zero by 2050 at the latest.
