A TOWNSVILLE mother released from custody early after a violent robbery is back behind bars after hacking off her electronic monitoring bracelet. Diana Ludlow, 39, faced the Townsville Magistrates Court from prison on Monday when she pleaded guilty to three offences. Ludlow was sentenced to seven years' jail in the Townsville District Court in 2018 for her involvement in a brazen robbery where a balaclava-clad man, armed with a gun, stormed a Mount Louisa Pharmacy and demanded drugs as fearful shoppers took cover. The parole board granted her early release under strict conditions, including that she wear an electronic GPS monitoring device, in March this year.
