An arrest warrant has been issued for a Pembroke Dock woman charged with stealing items from a store in the town who failed to attend a court hearing this week.

Forty-seven-year-old Gemma Louise Edwards, of Lewis Street, was scheduled to appear at Haverfordwest Magistrates Court on Tuesday, charged with stealing chocolate and two pairs of sandals, to the value of £12.98, from B and M Bargain Store in Pembroke Dock, on April 13, but failed to turn up for the hearing.

Magistrates issued an arrest warrant without bail for the defendant.
