A Whangarei woman who took her 6-month-old baby along on a burglary, then drove at the homeowner when he discovered the break-in, has been jailed.
Holly Walker, 27, appeared in Whangarei District Court for sentence yesterday after pleading guilty to charges of injuring with intent to injure from an incident last year, and charges of burglary and aggravated assault from an incident on September, this year.
Judge Duncan Harvey said Walker and two others went in a car to a home in Pipiwai on September 30 and the house was burgled. Walker brought her 6-month-old baby with her.
As Walker was waiting in the car, the homeowner arrived, saw co-accused Taylem Junior Henry walking out of the back of the section with some of his property, and tried to stop Walker leaving.
Judge Harvey said Walker told the man she would run him down if he tried to stop her and nudged him with the the front bumper, causing the man to get out of the way fearing he would be hit.
