A “relentless” shoplifter has been banned from entering shops in Norfolk and Suffolk.
Danielle Massen, 43, was told she had committed so many offences that her likely sentence “won’t be a short time”.
Norwich Magistrates’ Court was told that her latest spate of shop thefts including stealing hundreds of pounds worth of meat from branches of Tesco and the Co-Op in Lowestoft.
Lesla Small, prosecuting, said she had been identified from CCTV during a police operation targeting retail crime.
The thefts occurred three weeks after she was made subject to a community order. She is also set to appear in court in May over separate shop thefts.

Massen, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to thefts on April 17, 18 and 24.
The court was told she was currently living in a tent and was trying to kick a long standing drug habit.
Adjourning her sentencing until May 29, District Judge Evans said her “offending was relentless” and warned her she was on her “last chance to avoid prison”.
Her bail bans her from every shop except Asda in Lowestoft.
