A Bolton woman has been jailed for fraud.

Jody Ainsworth used a bank card dishonestly twice on the same day in October last year.

She did so in order to make a gain for herself.

The 33-year-old admitted the two offences at Manchester Magistrates' Court.

Following this, she was given a sentence of imprisonment for eight weeks.

The reasons given were that "the offences are so serious that only a custodial sentence can be justified".

Ainsworth, of Ramsey Avenue, Farnworth, was also ordered to pay compensation of £100 in relation to the second of the frauds which were carried out on October 30 last year.
