A serial shoplifter who targeted the same store seven times is awaiting sentence.
Samantha Green repeatedly walked into a One Stop branch in Portsmouth Road, Bursledon, and left without paying for food and other items.
Green, 38, of Nightingale Close in Bursledon, also targeted a Co-op store in nearby Hamble.
Appearing at Southampton Magistrates' Court, she pleaded guilty to eight offences committed over a six-month period.
Her crime spree began on November 23 2024, when she stole goods together valued at £40 from One Stop. Returning to the store the following day, she helped herself to stock worth £134.10.
During February 2025 Green paid other four visits to the shop, making off with goods together valued at £121.25.
Returning to the same store on April 2, she and an accomplice left without paying for products worth £66.35. The Hamble theft occurred on May 20, when she stole food valued at £60.
Green was remanded on conditional bail until July 9 2025
