She was in Court,
last week.
[Boots suspect the real figure,
police sources told us,
was a staggering £300,000 (£299,000 to be exact).
You can buy a detached house in some parts of the country for less.
One of the 30 thieving expeditions she
was convicted of epitomised her modus operandi.
The date was March 7, 2024, when she entered
Boots in Hornchurch, East London,
with a long, flowing skirt with hidden pockets,
a 'spotter' to look out for –
and distract – security guards,
and her own key to open locked
cabinets containing the most expensive
brands – Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent,
Dior, for example.
Value of items stolen: £16,867. Which must
be something of a record in itself for the sheer
number of beauty products stripped from a
single store in one go.
But the Hornchurch branch was not her
only target.
On her way there, she stopped off in
Camden, not far from her home
in neighbouring Haringey, where she
helped herself to make-up and toiletries
worth £7,729.93.]
[There is a much bigger story behind
Mirica, just one person, remember,
working for one Romanian gang,
operating in one city.
The field is infinitely more crowded, with gangs,
mostly run by
Romanian organised crime networks,
using women to plunder shelves
on the High Street.
They are part of a shoplifting epidemic which cost
the retail industry £2.2billion in 2023 and 2024,
an all-time record that equates
to more than 55,000 incidents per day.]
