A MILFORD HAVEN woman has been handed a 12-month conditional discharge after admitting three separate shop thefts from the same convenience store earlier this year.

Anna Davies, 43, of Precelly Place, appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (Nov 26) for sentencing. All three offences involved thefts from Haven Stores in Milford Haven and were contrary to sections 1(1) and 7 of the Theft Act 1968.

The court heard that:

  • On 28 March 2025, Davies stole alcohol valued at £6.
  • On 3 April 2025, she stole alcohol worth £36.25.
  • On the same day, 3 April 2025, she also stole £55.20 worth of food items.

Davies pleaded guilty to all three offences on 18 November 2025, which the bench confirmed was taken into account during sentencing.

SENTENCE DETAILS

Magistrates imposed a 12-month conditional discharge covering all matters. Davies was also ordered to pay compensation to the store.

In addition, she must pay £85 court costs and a £26 victim services surcharge, with a collection order made for deductions from her benefits.

Davies was represented by Tom Lloyd of DGJ Solicitors, while Dennis Davies prosecuted for the CPS.
