A woman who stole Lego sets from her parents’ home in Peterborough to buy drugs has been jailed for a year.
Leanne Ginns, who's 34, admitted theft and breaking a restraining order meant to keep her away from the house.
However, she flouted this when her father noticed two Lego sets worth ÂŁ100 missing from a bedroom. Ginns returned later the same day and admitted stealing the sets to fund her drug habit.
Ginns, of no fixed address, then breached the restraining order on 8 January, when officers saw her in the Dogsthorpe area walking towards her parents’ house.
Officers turned their car around and found her on the driveway of the house, where she was arrested.
