A Dundee serial thief stole fuel from city filling stations almost 20 times in a year.

Jennifer Jarrett admitted 25 charges of theft.

Jarrett, of Pitkerro Drive, May 2022 and May 2023, repeatedly stole fuel from filling stations at Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and Tesco supermarkets in Dundee.

The station she targeted the most, however, was the BP garage at Invergowrie services.

In total, she made off with nearly £600 worth of fuel.

Mitigation

Solicitor Mark Robbins said: “She accepts that she had an issue with stealing.

“She’s working with the group We Are With You.

“She’s doing her bit to address her opiate addiction.”

Sheriff James Williamson told Jarrett: “This is a course of conduct which is intolerable.”

She was placed on a community payback order for two years with an order to comply with addiction services.
