Police Prosecutor Senior Constable Sonia Edwards said the incident of stealing occurred at Soul Pattinson Pharmacy in Murgon, where the defendant took a bottle of perfume, removed the plastic wrapper and placed the bottle in her handbag.
“She left the store making no attempt to purchase the goods. CCTV footage captured that offence, police made an attempt to locate her however she had returned to New South Wales.”
