A shoplifter who allegedly racked up a tab of thousands of dollars in stolen goods will face court tomorrow.

The woman had allegedly been targeting retailers in Westgate, so much so she had become a priority offender for the National Retail Investigation Support Unit.

Sergeant Julian Conder, from Waitematā West Enquiries, says over three months the woman had allegedly stolen goods worth a total of over $5,000.

“The woman had allegedly stolen clothing and food from retailers as part of the offending spree,” he says.
