Johnston, Abbotsford Drive, Laurieston, was absent from court last Thursday due to her receiving treatment in hospital.

She had previously pleaded guilty to the theft she committed at Tesco, in Colliery Road, Redding, on February 12 last year.

Sheriff Derek Livingston, taking account of Johnston’s current situation, deferred sentence on her for a further four weeks until July 1.
