Kidderminster Magistrates' Court Sentencing Results

Tracie Carter, of Aqueduct Lane, Alvechurch, applied unsuccessfully for planning permission in 2004 to build six stables on green belt land. She proceeded to develop the site illegally, installing a mobile home with decking for residential use, a large stable block, manege, haystore, fencing, gates, and vehicle access. Despite a planning enforcement notice ordering removal of the structures, she failed to comply, leading to a £167,378 fine in 2023. A 12-month suspended sentence was issued on November 1, 2023, but was activated on May 20, 2024, after she did not make efforts to pay the fine or sell the land.

Jodie Green, a 32-year-old from Elgar Avenue, Malvern, stole chocolate and cleaning products from B&M and cheese from OneStop on March 26, 2024.

Byron Corbett-Stanley, a 21-year-old with no fixed abode, targeted supermarkets in Worcester, including Tesco in Foregate Street, Sainsbury's in Windermere Drive, and Co-op in Barker Street and Ambleside Drive, stealing items on multiple occasions between April 15 and 22, 2024. He violated a court-imposed exclusion order that banned him from these stores, following a previous court appearance on April 15, 2024, where he was given a suspended sentence. His actions led to convictions for 11 shop thefts and two public order offences, resulting in his imprisonment.
