Habitual thief Fidler on the hoof from gyms

Jeanette Fidler

A FORMER heroin addict who can’t stop stealing was released early from prison — and carried out more thefts.

The court heard that Jeanette Fidler had been before magistrates across the North West 26 times.

Fidler (39) — who has 142 offences on her record — was jailed for two years in May 2011 for stealing over £16,000 of property from 65 victims.

The mum of two was granted an early release last October but was back in court yesterday after admitting 12 more thefts in June — while free on licence.

Fidler, of Titchfield Road, Oldham, stole three iPhones, a Blackberry, a debit card and cash worth almost £2,500 from lockers in gymnasia in Hyde and and Didsbury.

Fidler will be sentenced in October, but in the meantime will serve a four-year ASBO which bans her from entering hotels with leisure facilities. She was held on remand.
