A WOMAN who was banned from a Hampshire town centre for begging has been caught again.

Megan Juryeff was banned from Fareham town centre as part of a two years Criminal Behaviour Order, imposed by Portsmouth Magistrates' Court in January.

But by February 12, the 26-year-old was spotted begging again, in West Street.

She was also caught on two occasions on March 1, and caught stealing £84 of items from Wilkos in Fareham the following day.

Juryeff pleaded guilty to one count of theft and three counts of begging, meaning she was in breach of her order and of a suspended sentence.

Magistrates decided to extend her 12 week suspended sentence from 12 months to 19 months as punishment.

Juryeff, of Longfield Avenue, Fareham, was also fined £80 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £30.

Her criminal order, which bans her from Fareham Town centre, apart from visits to a drug and alcohol treatment centre on Civic Way, will continue.
