A woman and a teenage girl from London have been banned from entering Bath while they await sentencing for a series of thefts from jewellery stores in the city.
Astrid & Miyu on Milsom Street, where the pair admitted stealing items worth £1,545
Diana Manea, 21, of Melbourne Road in Leyton, and a 16-year-old girl who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before Bath magistrates to each admit three counts of shop theft.
The pair had been arrested, along with a 20-year-old man also from London, on Wednesday 11th February in relation to incidents of theft the previous day and were released on conditional bail to appear in court on Wednesday 4th March.
Manea and the teenager both pleaded guilty to stealing jewellery to the value of £1,545 from Astrid & Miyu in Milsom Street, a ring worth £650 from F Hinds in Union Street, and a £35 bracelet from The Silver Shop in Union Passage.
Magistrates ordered pre-sentence reports from the Probation Service in London and adjourned the case to Stratford Magistrates’ Court. The pair will appear for sentencing, the 16-year-old at the youth court, on 2nd April.
As part of their bail conditions while they await sentence, Manea and the teenager must not enter the city of Bath.
Magistrates issued a warrant not backed by bail for their co-accused, 20-year-old Armando Muntiean, of Windmill Lane in Greenford, after he failed to turn up for Wednesday’s hearing.
