A DRUG addict has been sent to a special rehabilitation centre by magistrates.

Terri-Lee Pearce, 22, of Westbury Road, Penhill, appeared before magistrates yesterday and admitted breaching her bail conditions.

The prostitute and drug addict appeared before the magistrates after not attending meetings set up with Druglink as part of her bail conditions.

She is currently on bail after pleading guilty to breaching five anti-social behaviour orders.

She was due to be sentenced early next month.

Swindon Magistrates' Court heard she had been given bail on January 20 on condition she did not leave her home address in the evenings and that she kept all of her meetings with probation officers and Druglink staff.

She was bailed after she breached her previous anti-social behaviour orders, which included a ban on entering the town centre.

The court heard she had become abusive in Boots in the town centre in October when she was caught stealing cosmetics.

She has now been sent to Clouds rehabilitation centre, near Salisbury.

Lee-Pearce is due to appear before magistrates on March 10 for sentencing, but this might be adjourned to enable her to complete her treatment.
