Corby woman appears in court accused of robbery

A Corby woman has appeared in court accused of five offences including a robbery.

Joanne Craft, 37, is accused of the robbery of £820 at Greenhill Rise in May last year.

Craft, of Blenheim Walk, will stand trial at Northampton Crown Court next month.

That alleged crime took place on May 8 last year, when Corby was the midst of a spate of robberies at McColl's shops throughout spring 2019.

Separately, Craft is alleged to have been carrying an folding pocket knife illegally in Gainsborough Road on September 2 this year.

She is also alleged to have stolen a wallet containing £50 at the BP Fourways garage in Cottingham Road on March 18 this year.

Finally, Craft stands accused of driving a Vauxhall Astra, also on March 18, with no insurance and no licence.

Craft made her first appearance before magistrates in Northampton for those offences on September 3. She will make a further appearance at the magistrates' court at the end of October.
