A pharmacy assistant who stole weight loss drugs from her workplace has insisted she was using them to try to get herself slim again.
Debbie Monaghan, 43, had put on 'a lot of weight' after developing a mobility problem, which tempted her to steal at least £263 worth of medication, including B12 vitamins, as part of her vow to go on a diet.
The mother-of-one was caught when she left work for the day and staff at Melwood Pharmacy in West Derby, Liverpool, noticed shelves had been emptied of weight loss drugs, while B12 injections were also missing from the fridge.
