A Porirua woman has been accused of stealing more than $7000 worth of petrol in gas station drive-offs to help fund her partner's drug habit.
Rosie O'Brian has pleaded guilty to some of the 34 charges she faces of stealing petrol, but has not entered pleas to many of them.
She appeared in the Porirua District Court this morning on the charges, which relate to numerous petrol stations around the Wellington region.
Aside from one charge in March, all of the alleged offending occurred over a three-month period from mid May to August 10.
According to a summary of facts, O'Brian and a co-accused would fill up cars or multiple fuel containers before driving away without paying.
