A TEENAGE girl who went on a booze-fuelled rampage which saw her attack a motorist and steal his car after robbing him of the keys will need to wait to learn her fate.

The 17-year-old yob, who can’t be named for legal reasons, crashed into other cars during a 15-mile joyride.

Her terrified victim tried to prevent her from stealing the car but ended up jumping onto the road before the girl got out and battered him.

She left him by the roadside and sped off, ploughing into other vehicles on the way and then causing another crash when she got out at the top of a hill without putting the handbrake on.

The details first emerged when she appeared in the dock at Paisley Sheriff Court to admit her guilt over the events of July 25 last year.

She had faced a total of 11 charges but struck a deal with prosecutors which saw her pleading guilty to six charges, with five others dropped.

The court was told a man named Andrew Love was driving his grandfather’s car and had gone to pick up a female friend on the day in question.

Procurator fiscal depute Fiona Holligan said: “She was in the company of the accused, who was unknown to him. They entered the vehicle.

“The accused was in possession of an open and half-consumed bottle of vodka and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol.”

It was stated the teenager lunged at Mr Love and pulled the keys from the car.

The court was told that Mr Love then got into the passenger seat and tried to get the keys back but ended up being battered.

The assault took place in East Kilbride Road, Busby, with the teenager then driving to the Kibble secure unit, in Paisley, where she was staying at the time.

On the way, she crashed into several cars.

After being arrested and taken to a police station, she refused to provide a breath sample, telling officers: “I’m giving you f*** all.”

The teenager pleaded guilty to assault and robbery, dangerous driving, driving without a licence, driving without insurance, failing to provide a breath sample and breaking a bail curfew.

During her latest court appearance last week, defence solicitor Rowan Myles said she was taken into care at the age of eight and is already serving a jail sentence imposed at a different court.

He added that her drink and drug problems began when she hooked up with a man nearly twice her age.

Mr Myles said: “He has difficulties with drugs and alcohol and is a violent individual. She would consume cocaine, cannabis, ecstasy daily, as well as Buckfast, vodka, Dragon Soup – whatever alcohol was available to her.”

After hearing that she no longer wants to have any contact with her family, due to how she was treated in childhood, and plans to move to Inverness when released from custody, Sheriff Seith Ireland again called for background reports to be prepared and adjourned the case until later this month for that to be done.
