The last time Isabell Grant was in court, she left via the back door – off to serve a nine-day prison term for breaching her Covid-19 medihotel isolation.
On Wednesday, the 18-year-old hurtled out the front doors of the Adelaide Magistrates Court at top speed, having been accused of taking part in a violent takeaway store robbery.
Grant, of Keswick, is one of three people charged over the robbery of the Yummy Box restaurant at Park Holme in October last year.
She has yet to plead to aggravated counts of theft, assault and serious criminal trespass.
CCTV footage of the incident shows a woman and two men getting out of a Toyota Landcruiser and attempt to drag another man from a nearby Mercedes.
It also shows them enter the store, strike one staff member over the head with a hammer and repeatedly kick another even after they had fallen to the ground.
Police allege the trio stole personal items belonging to both staff and to the owner of the Mercedes before fleeing the scene.
In November, Grant was sentenced to nine days’ jail for leaving her room at the Pullman Hotel and socialising with another person under mandatory quarantine.
She was lectured, by a magistrate, for being responsible enough to be vaccinated but irresponsible enough to ignore Covid-19 rules.
On Wednesday, the case against Grant and her co-accused was adjourned until October.
