A woman has been sentenced in the Bundaberg Magistrates Court in Queensland after pleading guilty to stealing a $30 bottle of vitamins from a local pharmacy.
Huong Thanh Nguyen entered the Discount Drug Store outlet on 10 Nov last year and secreted the stolen item in her handbag.
However she returned to the store the next day to have a prescription filled, meaning police were easily able to identify her from CCTV footage of the theft.
Nguyen was sentenced to 40 hours of community service, according to the Northern Star.
