A REDDITCH woman has appeared in court charged with robbery, criminal damage and possession of a bladed article in public.

Laura Walker, of Willow Way, appeared at Worcester Crown Court on Friday before his honour Judge Abbas Mithani QC.

Charles Hamer, prosecuting, asked for the case to be adjourned for a pre-sentence report to be prepared by the probation service.

The 22-year-old, represented at the hearing by Jason Pegg, had already pleaded guilty to the three offences on December 8 last year.

Walker is also scheduled to be sentenced for shoplifting matters for which she was arrested on December 11 last year.

Judge Mithani remanded her in custody for her sentencing hearing on February 2 and ordered a pre-sentence report to be prepared on an all-options basis which includes the prospect of custody.

She was remanded in custody until the next hearing.
