But a range of other restaurants and cafes were used, including Indian takeaways.<\/p>\n<p>Purchases included \u00a312.64 spent at McDonald&#8217;s on June 11, 2021, and a \u00a321.87 payment to Subway on October 12 the same year.<\/p>\n<p>Narbett initially denied deliberately using the bank details and claimed it had been an accident.<\/p>\n<p>But she admitted the offences at court last Thursday and was sentenced to 20 days of rehabilitative activity and a 12-month mental health treatment programme. She was also ordered to repay all the money to her victim.<\/p>\n<p>Duncan Etchells, supervisor of Norfolk Police&#8217;s Operation Converter team, a specialist unit set up to increase crime detection rates, said: &#8216;Narbett had been using the victim&#8217;s card details for over a year and cost him nearly \u00a36,000.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I am pleased that the victim will now receive this money back through compensation and hope that the measures put in place will prevent Narbett from reoffending and allow her to move forward.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/27\/13\/75891051-12566283-image-a-22_1695817512520.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Uber Eats delivery drivers turned up at her home in Dereham, Norfolk, around 12 times a month on average before a mutual friend discovered what was happening and told the victim (file image)<\/p>\n<p>The victim and Uber Eats were approached for a comment.<\/p>\n<p>Uber Eats, which recently announced it had teamed up with Waitrose to deliver groceries to homes within 20 minutes, warns on its website that customers should not share personal information such as login details or mobile devices with other people, adding it&#8217;s &#8216;crucial to keep it secure&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Brittany Narbett received 105 deliveries from McDonald&#8217;s, 21 from Costa, 12 from Subway and four from Pizza Hut.
