HARD-UP MOTHERS STEAL TO FEED KIDS

MOTHERS are shoplifting to feed their kids during the cost of living crisis as official crime figures show 'theft from shops' has soared by 100% in just a year.

Labour finance spokesman Ged Nash said people are stealing to make ends meet because they can't afford the rising bills they are faced with every week.

One example last week saw a woman prosecuted in Drogheda District Court for allegedly stealing €180 worth of food and clothes from her local Marks & Spencer.

The Irish Mirror can now reveal the numbers are up across all of the Garda divisions.
