She was finally rooted-out earlier this week as part of an unrelated investigation and appeared before Northampton magistrates on Wednesday (May 3).
Strain, of Oakley Road, Corby, pleaded guilty to charges of stealing bags from TK Maxx on July 4 and 5 last year and to another charge of failing to appear at court last September.
She was fined £69, ordered to pay compensation of £39.99, costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £28.
