Scent thief an addict

A MELBOURNE woman has admitted stealing more than 50 bottles of perfume from a pharmacy to fund her heroin addiction.

Deborah Marshall, 48, has also confessed to thieving dozens of pairs of men’s underpants from a Bonds store in the Melbourne suburb of Moonee Ponds in 2018.

Magistrate John Hardy yesterday said that Marshall stole the items to pay “mongrel dealers” and she was lucky to be alive given how many times her life had been saved by paramedics.
