Whanganui's serial shoplifter Ngaika Kiu has been convicted and sentenced to two months' imprisonment for breaching release conditions.
Kiu appeared in Whanganui District Court on Tuesday and was sentenced by Judge Philip Crayton.
She is currently serving a three-month sentence, having been convicted on four charges of shoplifting in May.
At the time, Judge Dugald Matheson said "she is a recidivist shoplifter, her criminal behaviour blatantly disregards the rights of others in the community".
The shoplifting offences occurred between December 28 in 2017 and January 15 of this year and the shops targeted were Rebel Sport, Pak'nSave and Countdown.
