"She was stopped as she exited the store and it was discovered she had not paid for the items concealed within her bag. She offered to pay for the items she had not paid for.
"The goods were fully recovered.”
Lapcenoka, who required an interpreter, was representing herself and stated she did pay for the items at Asda some time afterwards.
Sheriff Derek Livingston ordered Lapcenoka, 80 Langton Road, Westquarter, to pay a £355 fine at a rate of £25 per month and told her to pay £50 compensation to Tesco.
