Isabell Grant sentenced for being unlawfully on premises after Yummy Box restaurant robbery

A drugged-up woman who found herself in a car with “poor company” dodged a conviction after trying to stop her friend from getting into trouble.

A teenager dodged a conviction after drugs, alcohol and “poor company” resulted in her trespassing at a takeaway restaurant.

Isabell Grant’s immaturity and misguided loyalty to her friend led her to being present when the violent robbery took place.

The Adelaide Magistrates Court on Friday heard Grant, 19, and three men attended the Yummy Box restaurant at Park Holme last October.

The court heard Grant could be heard saying “stop” and “don’t hurt him” as the victims were attacked, which left one with serious head injuries.

Police also allege the men stole a wallet and car keys during the robbery.

Grant, of Keswick, was originally charged with aggravated offences of assault, serious criminal trespass and committing theft using force.

However, after negotiations she pleaded guilty to a single charge of being unlawfully on the restaurant’s premises.

Grant’s co-accused, Hendrix James Martin, 32, and Brenton Paul Crombie, 23, of Coober Pedy, pleaded guilty last month to theft using force and two counts of assault.

Martin, of Christies Downs, also pleaded guilty to serious criminal trespass.

A third man involved in the robbery, Thomas William Schultz, 22, of Port Augusta, pleaded guilty in July to theft using force, serious criminal trespass and two counts of assault.

David Hall, for Grant, said she fell in with the wrong crowd and on the night of the offending the group wanted money to buy cigarettes.

Mr Hall said Grant followed Schultz – who was a good friend of hers – into the restaurant to try and stop him from getting into trouble.

The court heard Grant was a regular drug taker and had consumed drugs and alcohol on the night of the offending.

“She’s very immature … she didn't fully appreciate what was happening when she was in the car,” Mr Hall said.

The court heard Grant had plans to start a TAFE hospitality course next year.

During sentencing, Magistrate Melanie Burton said he accepted Grant was sorry for her involvement in the “dangerous and antisocial” events.

“You appear to have insight into the poor choices that you’ve made and even poorer company that you have kept,” she said.

The court heard Grant was not aware of what her co-accused planned to do and urged them to stop the attack once she was inside.

Magistrate Melanie Burton sentenced Grant to a 12-month, $500 good behaviour bond, with supervision.

“What this means is that you have a second chance, it may well be your last chance to stay out of prison and I hope that you use it wisely,” she said.

No conviction was recorded.
