HULL WOMAN CARA LOWIS CAUSES CHAOS IN COURT AFTER VIOLENT ROBBERY OF MOTHER
A woman named Cara Lowis, aged 41, from Dibsdane on Orchard Park estate in Hull, caused chaos at Grimsby Crown Court after she arrived apparently intoxicated and behaved aggressively.She admitted to committing an offence of robbery against her own mother on December 20, 2022.
The incident involved Lowis entering her mother's home, where her mother believed she was drunk, and asking for money.
Lowis had with her a can of alcohol which she opened despite her mother's objections.
When refused money, Lowis became increasingly agitated, pushing her mother into a chair and eventually gripping her throat while taking her mobile phone, which she threw on a sofa.
She stated her intention to take the £5 her mother had on the table.
Her mother suffered pain and a visible injury to her neck and was distressed by her daughter’s conduct.
The police reported the offence, and Lowis's mobile phone was eventually returned after being taken.
She was found to be intoxicated, but she claimed her behaviour was due to extreme anxiety about jail, not alcohol.
She was sentenced to a 21-month suspended prison sentence and 30 days' rehabilitation, with the judge expressing strong disapproval.
She had a history of 26 previous offences, including dishonesty and violence.
Despite her history and recent conduct, she was given a suspended sentence for this offence, with a warning that breaching the conditions could lead to jail.
The court judge remarked on her vile actions towards her own mother, emphasizing the depravity of stealing from her own family and the unpleasantness of the offence.
