A WINCHESTER woman has been sent to prison for entering a shop and thus breaking a court order.

Michelle Humble, 38, of Sussex Street, breached a criminal behaviour order on November 30 by going into Tesco Express on Andover Road in Winchester, a court heard.

Humble, who has a long record of shoplifting, had been banned from entering the store by a criminal behaviour order made on September 22.

Magistrates in Basingstoke jailed her for 12 weeks, saying she had shown a "wilful and persistent failure to comply with community orders".
