With a criminal record boasting more than 200 offences, predominantly theft-related, Johnson has long been a figure of concern for West Midlands Police and the local community. Though once notorious for stealing directly from individuals, particularly targeting the elderly and vulnerable, her most recent offences involved multiple shoplifting incidents and a burglary at a multiple occupancy home (HMO) under unusual circumstances.
