A couple repeatedly targeted a Clitheroe store and stole large quantities of spirits.
Blackburn Magistrates' Court heard that by the time they were detained Kelly Ferguson and her accomplice had stolen over £3,000 worth of booze.
Ferguson, 42, of Winsford Walk, Burnley, pleaded guilty to stealing spirits worth £3,137 from Booths between August 10 and September 3, 2033.
She was remanded on bail for the preparation of a pre-sentence report.
Henry Prescott, prosecuting, said staff called police and reported the couple were in the store in the process of stealing more spirits.
"Police detained them and then viewed CCTV footage which showed repeat visits to the store in the previous weeks.
“There were a total of nine occasions when they entered the store and stole spirits,” said Mr Prescott.
