A single mother has narrowly escaped jail time after scamming Queensland supermarkets for three months.
Kylie Milner, 35, from Ipswich, was caught out gluing fake barcodes for 65c two-minute noodles to thousands of dollars worth of stolen grocery items, the Queensland Times reported.
She defrauded Coles and Woolworths stores from Booval to Springfield, to collect a grand sum of more than $4500.
Self-service check outs were instrumental in Milner’s elaborate scam and she would use them sometimes twice a day to collect her varied bounty of meet, coffee machines, protein powder, toilet paper, disinfectant and sheet sets.
