A WARRANT has been issued for a Dursley woman's arrest after she was charged with two offences of assault and one of damaging a car but failed to attend court on Friday.

Lisa Brookshaw, 34, of Leaside Close in Dursley, is charged with assaulting Leon Meek and Donna Hencher on December 1 last year in Dursley.

On the same day it is said she damaged a silver Citroen Picasso that belonged to the 2Gether NHS mental health Trust, the value of the damage was said to be £1184.32.

Brookshaw was also due to answer a separate charge of shoplifting, where the CPS allege that she stole £104.92 worth of clothing from New Look in Gloucester.

She failed to attend Cheltenham Magistrates' Court on Friday and the bench noted that she had already failed to attend a hearing on April 26 in relation to the New Look thefts.

Chair of the bench, Jennifer West, issued a warrant without bail be issued for her arrest to bring her to court so that she can answer the allegations.
