Peaches Geldof accused of 'stealing designer clothes'

Bob Geldof's daughter Peaches has been accused of attempting to take clothes from a London designer store without paying - for the fourth time in two years.

The 19-year-old daughter of the rocker-turned-philanthropist is alleged to have deliberately walked out of east London store Luna & Curious last week with an item of clothing she had not paid for.

According to the Sunday Mirror, the teenager was spotted "behaving atrociously" before leaving the shop with a garment draped over her arm.

When a store assistant noticed the item was missing, she ran out and tracked Geldof down in another designer shop nearby and confronted her about the goods.

Geldof reportedly claimed she had taken the garment by accident and agreed to return to Luna & Curious to pay for it.

A shop source said: "My colleague was shocked. Her behaviour was absolutely unbelievable in the shop before the incident happened. She was acting very bizarrely. The matter is closed, but an apology would have been nice."

However, a representative for Geldof claims the star has no memory of the incident.

The spokesperson said: "She can't remember ever visiting this shop. She may have done, but not on a regular basis."

It's not the first time the teen has been accused of shoplifting - she was first stopped in London's Oxford Street in 2006 after allegedly failing to pay for a coat. Most recently, in April, she was said to have walked out of a store in central London with a $820 (€638) silk dress after "forgetting" to pay

for it.
