Three scammers self-scanned expensive electronics at Asda like pears and potatoes.

Dandre Day, his girlfriend Courtney Tilley and his accomplice Darren Tilley targeted hundreds of pounds of merchandise at the Sutton Coldfield supermarket, in a 24-hour scam.

The trio fled the scene when the automated checkout sounded the alarm, forcing them to ditch goods worth £ 369, BirminghamMail reports.

All three admitted to defrauding Birmingham Magistrates Court on October 6.

They were ordered to pay the store £ 159.33 in compensation in addition to fines and other costs.

The trio fired the shot on March 21 before getting caught the next day.

The first time around, they scanned a £ 149 monitor like a sixpence pear.

Later that day they put two DVD players in potatoes worth 12 pence.

Cheeky scammers also scanned a decoder like a pear, a keyboard like an onion, while a soundbar and headphones worth a total of £ 120 were touted as 20p limes.

The next day they tried to get a TV, sound bar and setup box, but left the items behind when security personnel were alerted, fleeing the store in a silver Vauxhall.

Police then launched an appeal for information on masked culprits captured by the self-scan cameras.

Fergal Bloomer, defending 19-year-old Courtney Tilley, said she was never convicted and pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity.

He added: “She has lost her good character which will stay with her for many years to come. She apologizes for what happened and realizes that she got involved in something that started out quite simple. . “

The lawyer proposed a similar mitigation for her partner Day, 20, and said: “Their life is now based on custody of their son. They both receive benefits.”

Alan Bryce, representing Darren Tilley, 20, told the court that his client had recently found a job that “may well get him out of this kind of offense.”

He said, “These were almost inevitable stupid offenses.”

Darren Tilley, of Dalewood Road, Sheldon, was ordered to pay a fine of £ 200, costs £ 185 and a victim fine surcharge of £ 34.

Courtney Tilley and Day, both of Kingstanding Road, Kingstanding, were sentenced to reduced fines of £ 80 each due to their income and the same additional costs and charges.
