A VANDAL has been ordered to pay over £1,000 after causing damage by breaking three windows.

Aaron Pullon entered a guilty plea to one count of criminal damage to property valued under £5,000 when he appeared before magistrates in Hereford last month.

The court heard from the Crown Prosecution Service that the 25-year-old had intentionally or recklessly damaged three windows in Hereford without lawful excuse on December 27 last year.

The court heard that Pullon intended to destroy or damage the windows.

Pullon, of Quinneys Lane, Redditch, was handed a 12-month conditional discharge. This means that he has not been sentenced immediately for the offence, and would only be sentenced if he were to commit another offence in the next 12 months.

He was ordered to pay compensation of £1,278 for the offence, as well as a £26 victim surcharge, with magistrates saying they had taken his guilty plea into account.
