Dealer with OCD is jailed for hoard of 2,000 stolen goods

A WOMAN with obsessive compulsive disorder had so many stolen goods in her home it took nine policemen 11 hours to clear them out.

Footage from CCTV in her house also showed Lesley Mooney, 57, weighing wraps of amphetamine and handing it to visitors. It is thought in some cases she gave drugs for shoplifted items.

Officers had to form a LIVING IN BUBBLE Mooney human chain to remove 2,000 items worth £36,000 from the house in Cleethorpes, North East Lincs, in March last year. They included 700 deodorants and 93 bottles of perfume. A pre-sentence report said Mooney had not appreciated her offending, had a “deficit in her thinking” and was “living in a bubble”. At Grimsby crown court, she got two-and-a-half years for possessing criminal property and supplying drugs.
