A WOMAN accused of stealing £1,000 worth of Christmas presents is being sought by police after a warrant for her arrest was issued due to her failing to show up for a court appearance.

Rachael Hince, 36, had been due to appear at Landrindod Wells Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, May 10, but she failed to show.

Hince, of Brynderwen, Talgarth, faces a charge of theft. It is alleged she stole Christmas presents to the value of £1,000 belonging to Katherine Dyer in Hay-on-Wye on December 16 last year.

Magistrates issued a warrant for her arrest, with no bail attached.
