Woman stole alcohol and food from Glasgow Sainsbury's

Sandra Cinbreviciene, of Carnwadric, East Renfrewshire, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court last week after she pleaded guilty to one charge of assault and one charge of theft.

She walked into the supermarket in Darnley at 7.20pm on June 25, 2024.

The 42-year-old picked up various items, including food and alcohol and tried to leave the store.

However, Abdoniaye Senyi Senghor Diouf, who worked there, intervened and stopped her from leaving.

As they struggled, Cinbreviciene hit the employee in the arm, which luckily caused no injuries.

Her lawyer told Sheriff Collette Gallagher: "She has alcohol issues. My submission is a community paybackorder. There are four children in the house."

The sheriff said: "I can see that you had a number of difficulties, many related to alcohol use and that drove your offending behaviour.

"You would benefit from some formal support to make sure you don’t reoffend, particularly because you have previous convictions."

Cinbreviciene was placed on supervision for 12 months, with a requirement to engage with addiction services.
