Julie Chaplin, 38, had been given cash by her mum for a party but later attacked her parent in a bar in a bid to get more money
A woman who robbed her own mother over a handbag in a Wetherspoons pub has been jailed. Julie Chaplin, 38, had spent £200 her mother gave her on a party before attempting the bold robbery.
Chaplin was said to have owed her mother £100 but after receiving the £200 she showed up at her mother's home requesting more money. She was homeless at the time of the theft but admitted she had splashed some cash on a party. Benjamin Donnell, prosecuting said: "The defendant came in one last time and told her that she was going to take her bag. The defendant went to grab her handbag strap and started to pull on it. The mother tried to resist and lean in the other direction to stop her taking her bag."
Top news stories today Stephen Robinson, mitigating, said: "It was a disgraceful act by the defendant, notwithstanding her problems at the time, and the defendant appreciates that. She is sorry and hopes for a future relationship with her mother. She realises that she will have to take things delicately and she has got a lot to make up for her actions."
