A woman accused of causing thousands of pounds worth of damage to vehicles on the Isle of Wight has appeared in court.

Natasha Gower-Crane, of Chadwick Drive, Eaglestone West, Milton Keynes – formerly of Niton - did not enter a plea when she went before magistrates, via videolink, on Friday, May 3.

The 34-year-old is accused of a long list of criminal damage charges - 11 in total, relating to an incident on October 21 of last year.

Ms Gower-Crane is alleged to have damaged a Skoda Octavia, Hyundai Santa Fe, Ford Ranger, Land Rover Defender, two Volkswagen T-ROCs, BMW 320i, Toyota HiAce, Nissan Note, Citroen C4, and a Toyota Avensis.

On October 21, police were called shortly after 8.30am to reports of a woman damaging several cars with a baseball bat on Chatfield Road.

At least 20 vehicles had been reported as damaged.

Ms Gower-Crane saw her case sent to the Isle of Wight Crown Court for a plea and trial preparation hearing on June 3.

She was granted unconditional bail until that date.
