"I was looking for the most expensive thing in the store."
That was the explanation a 26 year-old woman gave police after she stole a knife block set valued at $350 from Briscoes in Whanganui.
Krystal Beach pleaded guilty to shop lifting when she appeared in the Whanganui District Court on Tuesday.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Rachel Willemsen said on July 9 Beach was at Briscoes in Whanganui.
"She entered the store, found the knife block set valued at $349.99. She made no attempt to pay and left the store with stolen item."
