A woman was put on a 10-week curfew and told to pay £6 after taking one bite of a Co-op sandwich .
Nicki Masterson, 23, of Kingsway, Earsham, Bungay, pleaded guilty to theft from a shop at Great Yarmouth Magistrates Court on January 6.
The court heard she stole a sandwich and a bottle of coke from the Bungay Co-op, consuming them in store before hiding empty wrappers on the shelves and leaving without payment.
Stacie Cossey, prosecuting, said Masterson was caught on CCTV , and had 59 offences across 30 convictions.
Richard Mann, mitigating, said Masterson understood she would have to compensate the supermarket, but argued the prosecution s request for £105 court costs was unreasonable.
