A SHOPLIFTER stole two bottles of perfume worth ¤155 from a department store because she was short of cash.
Susan Harta (36) took the perfume and sold them to another person to make money, claiming she is forced to steal to survive.
Judge John Lindsay ordered Harta of Burnell Green, Northern Cross, Malahide Road, Dublin 17, to pay €155 in compensation to the shop and to donate €95 to the Children's Sunshine House Hospital Fund.
She admitted before Dun Laoghaire District Court to theft at Debenhams, Frascati Shopping Centre, Blackrock, on March 18 last year.
