A 25-YEAR-OLD woman was caught stealing from two Dunfermline shops in the run-up to Christmas.

Megan Hancock, of Somerville Street, Burntisland, appeared at Dunfermline Sheriff Court by video link from prison.

She admitted that on December 15, last year, at Primark, High Street, Dunfermline, she stole a quantity of clothing.

She also admitted that on the same day at The Works, Kingsgate Centre, she stole a craft box, batteries and pens.

Sentence was deferred until later this week when Hancock has others matters calling.
