A BIDEFORD woman with an alcohol problem admitted three counts of stealing four-packs of Special Brew from a garage store.
Kelly Reardon, 32, of Union Close, walked into the Handy Cross Blights Motors store and took the alcohol on three occasions in the space of five days in December.
She was caught when a member of staff recognised her on the last visit on December 11 and checked the CCTV footage from the day before.
