A WOMAN previously convicted of stealing almost £1,500 worth of fuel was caught driving while banned.
Caroline Louise Coker was caught behind the wheel of a silver Audi A3 in Romsey Road, Lyndhurst while disqualified and uninsured.
The 43-year-old of Oxford Road in Bournemouth pleaded guilty to the offences which happened on June 3 last year.
However, she was also in breach of a community order she had been given at Wiltshire Magistrates' Court for stealing a total of £1,433 in fuel from service stations across Salisbury.
In July 2019 she was convicted of the 17 separate thefts which happened between September 2018 and March 2019.
Appearing before Southampton Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, she was given a new community order until July next year to include 24 days of rehabilitation.
She was fined £120 and her licence endorsed with six points.
Coker was ordered to pay a £95 victim surcharge and £50 court costs.
