Charged with malicious destruction of property is Theo Howell. He pleaded guilty to the offence when the matter was called up.

The court was told that Howell used a form of weapon to damage an Infinity and Peugeot motor cars which belong to a male and female complainant, respectively.

Further allegations are that he used a stone to damage the windows.

The court heard that the owners' insurance company has written off both vehicles due to the extent of the damage.
