Overview
- Rachael Cole, 44, admitted four thefts at Basingstoke Magistrates' Court after stealing goods worth £964 from shops in Hook and Liphook between November 10 and December 1.
- The criminal behaviour order bans her from wearing hairpieces or face coverings in shops and excludes her from every Sainsbury’s and Tesco in the UK, plus the B&M store in Bordon.
- Additional conditions require her to place items only in baskets or trolleys until paid for, show proof of ability to pay when asked, and leave premises in Hampshire and Surrey if requested.
- Police said she previously used a wig while stealing seven bags of dog food from a Sainsbury’s in Liphook, which informed the tailored restrictions.
- Hampshire Constabulary, including Inspector Matt Wake, warned that any breach of the post‑sentence order will lead to arrest and a return to court.
