Robber arrested after returning to shop to get her phone

A woman who robbed a shop in Sunderland while claiming she had a gun was arrested after she returned to the scene to retrieve her phone
.
Amanda McGorian escaped with some cash following the raid on the Spar on Chester Road but returned 15 minutes later when she realised she had dropped her handset.
‘Can I just get my phone and say sorry to the lasses,’ she told the police officers at the scene, who then promptly arrested her.
The 27-year-old had demanded money from two female workers on September 29.
McGorian, of Penshaw, received an eight-month sentence at Newcastle Crown Court, which has been suspended for two years.
She will also be supervised, have a curfew and be forced to go on an alcohol recovery programme after Judge James Goss told her she had perpetrated ‘a drunken and stupid criminal act’.
He added: ‘Not only did you cause considerable fear to the young girls who were looking after that shop, performing a public service, but you did your level best to get yourself locked up by doing that.
‘You didn’t have a gun but they weren’t to know that and you can imagine they would be frightened by you making that threat in the circumstances.’
