BRIDGEND: Prolific shoplifter jailed for ten months — and banned from every store she targeted
A Bridgend woman who spent eight months repeatedly stealing from shops across the town has been jailed – and banned from ever entering the stores she targeted again.
It is not the first time Emma Faulkner has faced the courts for shoplifting. She was jailed for four weeks in December after stealing £927 worth of beauty products from The Cosmetic Company at McArthurGlen – the very same store she would go on to target again for £1,500 just months later.
Faulkner, 48, was sentenced to ten months in prison after appearing at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
She was convicted of multiple shoplifting offences after targeting businesses across Bridgend over the past eight months.
Among her offences was the theft of £1,500 worth of items from The Cosmetic Store at McArthurGlen Bridgend – one of the town’s busiest retail destinations.
She also stole £40 worth of goods from Poundland on Adare Street and £30 worth of candles from the Yankee Candle shop, alongside numerous other shoplifting incidents.
Faulkner was also sentenced for being drunk and disorderly in a public place.
As well as the prison sentence, officers applied for a Criminal Behaviour Order lasting two years – prohibiting Faulkner from entering the stores she repeatedly targeted.
In a further penalty, her dog has been taken away from her and she has been banned from keeping animals for five years.
The case was investigated by the Bridgend Neighbourhood Policing Team.
Sergeant Daniel Parry said persistent retail crime had a direct impact on communities and local businesses. “We want to be clear – those who choose to repeatedly offend will be identified, targeted, and dealt with robustly,” he said.
Parry said officers would continue to pursue repeat offenders. “Our officers will relentlessly pursue those responsible and use all available powers to bring them to justice,” he added.
The sentence follows a wider effort by South Wales Police to tackle retail crime across the Bridgend area, with neighbourhood policing teams increasingly using Criminal Behaviour Orders as a tool to protect businesses from prolific offenders.
Retailers suffering from shoplifting are encouraged to report every incident to South Wales Police on 101 to help build the intelligence picture needed to pursue repeat offenders through the courts.
Anyone with information about shoplifting or retail crime can also report anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Swansea BID launches 24/7 crime hotline for city centre businesses
Direct line to report trouble
From December 17, the Swansea BID office number — 01792 475021 — has been transformed into a 24/7 crime reporting hotline. Callers simply press one to be diverted straight to ASEL’s dedicated security team, giving traders and staff an immediate route to report incidents at any time of day or night.
The move comes after months of concern about retail crime and anti‑social behaviour in the city centre. BID bosses say the hotline will make it easier than ever for businesses to get help and ensure incidents don’t slip through the cracks.
“Major step forward”
Andrew Douglas, Swansea BID Manager, said: “This partnership is a major step forward in how we support our business community. By providing a 24/7 crime reporting line, we’re making it easier than ever for BID businesses to get help when they need it and ensuring that incidents don’t go unreported.”
Backed by security experts
Peter Fisher, Director of Operational Risk at ASEL, said the service gives Swansea’s business community “a trusted, always‑on reporting function” that will improve the quality of information passed to police and help build a clearer picture of crime trends.
Strengthening the fight against retail crime
Steve Gallagher, leader of Swansea Against Business Crime, welcomed the hotline as “another powerful tool in building a safer Swansea.” He said timely reporting is crucial for spotting patterns, supporting police response, and protecting staff and customers.
More than crime
The hotline isn’t just for reporting thefts or anti‑social behaviour. BID levy payers can also use the same number to flag environmental issues such as blocked drains, broken street lights or damaged paving, with the BID team submitting reports directly to Swansea Council.

For Judd Legum and Tesnim Zekeria, the willingness of major media outlets like Washington Post and CNN to report wildly incorrect misinformation about a non-existent retail crime wave is an act of organized journalistic crime. And even after the erroneous reports on which these stories were based have been retracted, these media outlets remain silent about the misinformation theyve spread.
