DUNDEE WOMAN JAILED FOR VIOLENT ROBBERY AFTER MCDONALD'S PROPOSITION
A woman, Wendy McGill, followed her victim on Dundee’s High Street before punching him and stealing his backpack in the early hours of the morning.
The incident occurred on April 17, when McGill approached the man at Dundee bus station, then forced him into an alleyway before attacking him and taking his backpack, which contained housekeys, headphones, and other personal items.
The man was taken to Ninewells hospital after fearing he was going to collapse but did not require treatment.
McGill, who had relocated from Hamilton to Dundee to escape her 'fairly tragic' life in Lanarkshire, was on bail from Dundee and Hamilton Sheriff Courts at the time of the offences.
She admitted the assault and robbery in court and was sentenced to 20 months imprisonment by Sheriff David Hall, who noted her 'terrible record'.
The sentence was backdated to April 19, when she was first remanded.
McGill was attempting to turn her life around after leaving her old life and acquaintances in Hamilton behind.
