A Pembroke Dock woman who stole alcohol from the same store three times has been given a final chance to avoid jail.

Louise Hallett, aged 28, of Elizabeth Court, also admitted to failing to surrender to bail and to being in breach of a suspended sentence.

Swansea Crown Court heard the suspended sentence had been imposed for dangerous driving after she drove at speed in a residential area, hit a parked car, drove off and hit another car. She told the driver of the second car she had crashed deliberately.

Her barrister, David Lloyd, said she had been making 'tremendous progress' since the offending, but still had difficulties.

The court heard that CCTV cameras had filmed her stealing from the store.

Judge Paul Thomas told Hallett she had come very close to going to jail, but he felt her problems could be better addressed in the community.

He ordered that the suspended sentence should continue to run and for the latest offending he imposed a 7 pm to 6.30 am curfew for the next four months.

He also warned Hallett: "This is very much a final chance."
