Repeat offender Frankie Schock, 37, receives 18 months for shoplifting in Orpington and Swanley after breaching community order.
Schock, who is 37, had many past convictions with fifty-nine thefts already on her record. She was banned from some places, including Bromley and all M&S stores.
She claimed she changed, but in July, she stole again. She stole fifteen more times in five months.
Last Wednesday, a judge gave Schock an 18-month jail sentence. He said she needed punishment.
Between July and December, she stole £2,000 from Co-op and Boots in Orpington. She also stole from Asda in Swanley, with the stolen items costing hundreds of pounds.
Schock worked with Jessica Cook during the Asda thefts. Police caught them at Asda as they tried to hide stolen items, which included washing liquid and detergent.
Schock wrote a letter to the judge, saying a family member offered her drugs. She started using heroin again soon after, claiming she can function in society and stating she is a decent person.
Schock is a mother who once worked in recruitment. Drug use led to her stealing to support her drug habit and she is planning changes for when she leaves prison. Schock has been in prison since her arrest.
The judge said shoplifting hurts businesses. Courts tried to help her before, avoiding prison due to her drug problem. Her sentence was also to help her, giving her time to prepare for release.
Schock received an 18-month prison sentence. Jessica Cook, age 46, also stole goods and committed the thefts with Schock. Cook, who lives in Orpington, will be sentenced later.
