Swindon Crown Court A THIEF who stole thousands from a Swindon car recovery firm had her case adjourned as she’d given birth just days earlier. Helen Spencer, 39, had been due to be sentenced at Swindon Crown Court on Monday after earlier admitting stealing £41,000 from Kembrey Park-based company Scorpion Engineering in 2019. But her advocate, Rob Ross, told the court that pregnant Spencer’s waters broke on Friday morning and she gave birth to later that evening. “She has now just returned home but, obviously, in the circumstances we confirmed to the court it wasn’t going to be possible for her to come to court today.”
