Magistrates decided to jail her after labelling her crimes as “persistent offending of a similar nature” and noting that they placed her in breach of a previous court sentence.

Casey was jailed for 16 weeks concurrently for the theft and assault, meaning a 16-week sentence, and added a further four weeks for the criminal damage.

She was also ordered to pay a £128 victim surcharge by the end of March next year.

There was no separate order for court costs
