She stole from a vulnerable person - and it was her third strike
Drug addict Lauren Brooke was seen on CCTV entering a fellow resident’s room at the Francis House hostel on Cross Francis Street, Chapeltown, before fleeing with £445 worth of items.
Leeds Crown Court was told that it was her third burglary, therefore a mandatory jail term was inevitable unless exceptional circumstances could be argued. However, she was already on a suspended sentence for assaulting an emergency worker, so Recorder Tony Watkin jailed her for 32 months.Prosecutor Jemima Stephenson earlier told the hearing that 26-year-old Brooke was seen on CCTV entering the resident’s room and stealing a TV, two handbags and clothing.She admitted a charge of burglary.
