A mother-of-six who burgled a clothes shop three times in four days threw a hammer at a police car during a chase.
Joanne Fisher, aged 41, was part of a group that targeted Next at Forge Retail Park in Telford in late night raids last March, stealing around £7,500 worth of children's and ladies items.
The very next day, on March 23, a Ford Fiesta with cloned number plates arrived at the store. This time, Fisher was seen going into the shop and stealing clothes. The court was told that the raid cost Next around £3,000 on top of the clothes stolen due to the damage and additional security needed to be put in place.
The chase came to an end and the occupants of the Fiesta fled, but Fisher was apprehended near a woodland. Suzanne Francis, mitigating, said that Fisher had been a"model prisoner" since she was returned to jail last April, doing a number of courses and becoming a Samaritans call handler.
