Sunday 05 March 2023

A 26-year-old man has admitted causing nearly £3,000-worth of damage by smashing the window of a St. John home and the windscreen of a car parked outside.

Appearing in the Magistrate's Court this week, Jake Lescop pleaded guilty to both charges of malicious damage on 28 January.

The window in the house is said to have cost £2,000 to replace and the car windscreen £600.

Lescop did not have legal representation when he appeared in court.

Assistant Magistrate Peter Harris adjourned sentencing until 11 April to allow time for a pre-sentence report and released him on bail, advising him to get a lawyer.
