A TEENAGE girl has been sent into detention for six months for refusing to carry out unpaid work.

The 17-year-old did not turn up for sessions because she did not get on with the person supervising her, Barnsley Youth Court was told.

The teenager had made things worse for herself when she stole a bottle of cider from Carlton Service Station, said District Judge John Foster.

Mr Foster said the Carlton girl had been given a youth rehabilitation order for offences which included a confrontation with householders during a break-in.

Joanne Lewis Crooks, prosecuting, said the teenager was identified on CCTV when she stole the cider.

Jack Danaher, defending, said the girl was intelligent and had potential. She was due to start a course in veterinary care.

He said: "It appears she doesn't get on with the person who supervises her when she's supposed to do unpaid work."

The girl admitted theft and breaching a youth rehabilitation order.
