‘Fagin’ Mother Taught Four Daughters How To Shoplift in Katikati
Fagin, a character in Charles Dickens’ novel Oliver Twist, who recruits and trains children to steal, has been compared to a woman from Katikati in the Tauranga District Court.
Maria Ruhia Milina, 32, was accused of coaching her 4 children aged, 9, 11, 12, and 14 to steal. They were told to put on up to 3 layers of clothing under the clothes they were already wearing after removing the price tags.
At a defended hearing before Judge Ingram yesterday, Mr Holmes argued there was no case to answer because Milina had not personally stolen.
The judge disagreed, saying evidence showed there was “absolutely no doubt at all” the mother was aiding and abetting her children to steal.
Milina was sentenced to 100 hours’ community work and nine months of supervision.
