Her targets included well-known retailers like Asda, Sainsbury’s, Next, Holland & Barrett, Savers, Home Bargains, Boots, and Farmfoods. Despite the severity of her crimes, Harbun was spared immediate imprisonment, partly because she is pregnant and had recently begun engaging with support services to address her underlying drug addiction.
