A NELSON woman who grabbed £10 off a girl in the town centre has been made the subject of an intensive drug treatment programme.
Wendy Horrocks, who has been in custody since her arrest last October, was told by a judge at Preston Crown Court that she had been punished already for the offence.
Recorder Alan Booth passed a 12-months drug testing and treatment order on the 31 year old woman. Horrocks, of Fountain Street, Nelson, had admitted a charge of theft.
The court heard that on October 12 last year a 16-year-old girl withdrew £10 from a cash point machine in Nelson town centre. Horrocks said "Give me that" and the money was taken from her.
