A woman fined for her role in the theft of a grooming device from Big W claimed she didn’t know her co-accused’s intent until after he placed the item down his pants.
Juanita Marlena Tobane, 25, pleaded guilty on April 14 in Rockhampton Magistrate’s Court to one count of stealing.
Police prosecutor Senior Constable Peter Rumford said Tobane and her co-accused entered the Big W store at Maryborough about 1pm on January 30 and stole a hair device worth $39 from the hair and beauty aisle.
He said CCTV showed the co-accused remove the device from its package and place it down his shorts before leaving and not attempting to pay.
