A GREENOCK woman is said to have shouted violent threats at retail workers after stealing booze from a superstore in the town.

It is alleged that Angela McLeish took alcohol from Tesco in Dalrymple Street on March 2 this year before returning the following day and snatching more drink.

The 44-year-old, of Belville Street, is further charged with threatening or abusive behaviour towards two male staff members.

Prosecutors say she shouted, swore, uttered threats of violence while in possession of a glass vase and acted in an aggressive manner.

Lawyer Amy Spencer confirmed not guilty pleas on her absent client's behalf.

A trial has been scheduled for January.
