A PREGNANT mother of three stole from her sister to pay off drug dealers.
Angela Palmer, who admitted taking £80 from her sister Linda's purse as the pair wrapped Christmas presents together, also pleaded guilty to another theft and to handling stolen goods and was put on probation for a year by Harrogate magistrates.
Court chairman Jack Kennerley who also ordered Palmer, 25, to pay £80 compensation to her sister, warned her: "This is the final chance. No nonsense, no threats, no nothing, this is your last chance."
The court heard Palmer, of East Parade, Harrogate, stole the cash two days before Christmas.
