Mum hit toy store assistant with car and carried him for 50ft after nicking two children's scooters - but tells court she is "totally ashamed and remorseful"

A mum-of-two rammed her car into a store assistant and carried him on the bonnet for 50 feet before running over him after nicking two children’s scooters from a toy store.

Barbara Young, 25, drove her Fiat 500 into the West One Retail Park in Eccles then went into the Smyths store with her sister and her son. The women picked up two of the electric scooters worth £130, alongside a bag for life full of items and went to the check out.

Young, of Bolton, walked out of the store with the scooters and put them in the boot of her car, whilst her sister was stopped by the store assistant as he realised the bag hadn’t been paid for.
