Justices have issued a fresh arrest warrant for a Wigan woman who failed to turn up at court for sentencing over threats, theft and criminal damage convictions.

Lisa Fisher, 41, of Eastwell Road, Beech Hill, had been due to appear before borough magistrates after admitting to stealing £370 worth of ornaments from Accessories 4U in the Grand Arcade.

She had initially denied that charge but immediately pleaded guilty to smashing an ornamental vase on the same occasion: March 11 2022.

Since then she has evaded justice, having first been a sentencing no-show in June this year and so been made the subject of an arrest warrant.

Fisher had also been accused of using threatening, insulting or abusive words or behaviour against former neighbour Glynn Rostron in January 2021 and when she failed to attend a July hearing for that charge, Wigan and Leigh magistrates found her guilty in her absence.

The idea then was for her to be sentenced for all three offences in October, but when Fisher was absent from court again, the bench was forced to issue a second warrant.
