A 33-YEAR-OLD man from Northwich has appeared in court after admitting causing damage to a car earlier this year.

Thomas Clarke, of Boundary Lane North, Cuddington, appeared in Warrington Magistrates Court on August 25 after pleading guilty to one count of criminal damage.

The court heard how on June 2, Clarke damaged a Ford Focus in Cuddington belonging to a woman and ‘intended to destroy or damage such property, or was reckless as to whether such property would be destroyed or damaged’.

After hearing the case, magistrates sentenced Clarke to 24 rehabilitation activity requirement days.

He must also pay £200 in compensation, £85 in court costs and a £114 surcharge.
