AN IRVINE woman has confessed to stealing from the same shop on four separate occasions in the space of little more than five weeks.

Angela Orr, 48, pleaded guilty to four separate charges of theft by shoplifting when she appeared at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court this week.

Orr, of the town's Kirkland Terrace, targeted the same shop - the Co-operative Food store in Dreghorn - each time.

She stole food or other grocery items from the Townfoot store on May 12, then returned to do the same on June 2 - and targeted the shop twice more on successive days, June 17 and 18.

At the times of all four incidents Orr was the subject of a bail order granted by the court in Kilmarnock, meaning she was the subject of several conditions, including not to commit any other criminal offences.

Following her guilty pleas, Orr was again granted bail; she will return to Kilmarnock Sheriff Court to be sentenced later this year.
