Beckham letter thief faces sentence

A woman who stole letters from the penthouse flat of David Beckham and his wife Victoria is being sentenced today.

Chinyelu Mary Obue, of Broughton Road, Edinburgh, has pleaded guilty to theft and deception.

She is to be sentenced at Mold Crown Court, in north Wales.

Last year, Macclesfield Magistrates Court heard how she took a taxi 230 miles from her home in Scotland to Alderley Edge, in Cheshire.

The driver became suspicious after she walked into the communal hallway of the Beckhams' mansion block home and took a dozen letters.

She had previously been warned by police after bombarding David Beckham with letters and photographs.
