A PRISONER'S wife who claimed she stole to feed her family was given a six-month community rehabilitation order.
Burnley Magistrates heard Susan Kewin, 33, stole four bottles of Baileys Irish cream from Sainsburys and told police she was going to sell them to raise cash for food.
The defendant, of Hudson Street, Burnley, admitted theft and a district judge told her the rehabilitation order would help her look at her money problems in a constructive way.
