Diamond Ring Thief Banned from Lewisham Jewellers
A woman has been banned from Warren James Jewellers in Lewisham Shopping Centre after stealing a £1,200 diamond ring. Clodagh Spain, 53, from Hither Green, swiped a white gold one-carat diamond band on March 25.
Caught and Convicted After Trying to Deny It
Spain was arrested and charged with theft. She pleaded not guilty but was found guilty at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on July 8. The evidence was clear, and the verdict stood firm.
Community Order and Curfew Spell the End of Shoplifting Spree
On Monday, September 30, Spain was sentenced to a six-month community order. Her punishment includes a three-month electronically monitored curfew and a strict ban from entering Warren James Jewellers.
Firm Action to Stop Repeat Offending
The ban is aimed at preventing Spain from hitting the store again and sends a clear message to other would-be thieves. This case underlines the tough consequences for stealing high-value items and the need for stores to stay vigilant.
