Tesco raiders throw champagne out of car
A TEAM of shoplifters threw champagne out of a car window as they tried to escape police.
Blackburn magistrates heard the trio had travelled to Clitheroe from Rochdale to carry out their "planned" theft from Tesco in the town.
Christopher Garlick (32) and Samantha Gaynor (37), of Industrial Road, Rochdale, and Michaela Smith (25), of Duke Street, Clitheroe, pleaded guilty to theft of champagne worth £280. They were committed to Rochdale magistrates to be sentenced.
Charlotte Crane (prosecuting) said the two women selected the champagne and left through an emergency exit where they got into a car driven by Garlick.
"The police had been alerted and gave chase and as they did so a basket containing champagne was thrown from the car window," said Miss Crane.
