A PEMBROKE man took


his anger out on a car he ‘didn’t like’ while in Milford Haven during December, Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court heard on Tuesday (Jan 24). Shane Goodridge, 22, of Oliver’s


View, pleaded guilty to causing criminal damage to a Renault Megane on December 9. Prosecuting, Vaughan Pritchard-


Jones told the court that the owner of the car had been asleep on the night in question when he heard a loud bang. He looked out of the window and


saw that the back windscreen wiper on his car had been bent backwards. CCTV footage showed a young man jumping on the car and bending the wiper. The complainant went outside


and Goodridge returned. The two men spoke before the complainant called


the police. When the officers arrived,

Goodridge told them: “I had a mood on and I damaged that car because I didn’t like it.” Defending Goodridge, Mike


Kelleher said that his client had been out with his friends and had too much to drink. He ‘got into a bit of a mood’,


the lawyer told the court, when he thought that his friends had taken his money. He took this out on his friends and, later, the car. “My client would like to apologise through me,” Mr Kelleher added. Magistrates fined the defendant


£80 and ordered him to pay compensation of £200 for the damage he caused to the complainant’s car. Goodridge will also pay £85 in prosecution costs and a £30 victim surcharge.


Disqualified driver ‘got scared’ A DISQUALIFIED driver was


taken into custody on Tuesday (Jan 24) after pleading guilty to five offences at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court. 24-year-old Aaron Yarker, of


Howarth Close, Roch, pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified and failing to stop when asked to do so by a constable in uniform. He also admitted that he exceeded


the speed limit in a 30mph zone by going 60mph and that he drove without third party insurance or a valid test certificate. Prosecuting, Vaughan Pritchard-


Jones said that Yarker was stopped while he was driving at 11.40pm in Crymych on January 4 when officers noticed that his car didn’t have the correct documents. They signalled for the defendant to


stop but Yarker drove off. The police continued to follow him as he sped along the roads, going up to 80mph in 60mph zones, 70mph in 40mph zones and 60mph in 30mph zones.


Eventually, the vehicle came to a


stop and the defendant was arrested for the offences he had committed. When asked why he drove off, he told the officers he ‘got scared’. Mark Layton, defending, said that


Yarker’s disqualification was coming to an end when he saw the car for sale on Facebook for a small amount of money. Mr Layton added that the officers


did not see the defendant’s driving as dangerous.


Magistrates revoked Yarker’s


community order and fined him £120 for driving without insurance, £80 for speeding, £40 for having no MOT and £80 for failing to stop. He received six penalty points


for driving without insurance and a further six for speeding. Yarker was also disqualified from driving for 15 months. The defendant was sentenced to


16 weeks in prison and will have to pay £85 prosecution costs and a £115 victim surcharge.


Collision reveals car taken without consent A ROAD traffic collision


revealed that a man from Lamphey was driving a car which he had taken without the owner’s consent, without a driving licence or third- party insurance. 26-year-old Lewis Liam Haines,


of Flemish Court, pleaded guilty to driving without a licence and third party insurance, as well as admitting that he took a car without the owner’s consent. On Tuesday (Jan 24), Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court heard that the defendant was involved in a two vehicle road collision at 1.30pm in Kilgetty on January 4. Prosecuting, Vaughan Pritchard-


Jones said that Haines was driving slowly and carefully, stating the the


collision was caused by the other driver going too quickly around a corner.


Enquiries were made after the


collision and it showed that the car Haines was driving belonged to his girlfriend. The defendant had used the car to drive to his new home without permission to do so. Haines, representing himself, had


nothing to add to the court proceedings. Magistrates fined Haines £40 for


driving without a licence, £120 for driving without insurance and £80 for taking the car without permission. Haines also received six penalty


points for driving the car without insurance and will have to pay £85 in prosecution costs and a £30 victim surcharge.

Eight storeys up: One of the boys on the roof A VIDEO which shows boys


carrying out dangerous parkour stunts on buildings in Tenby has prompted concern from the authorities. Parkour is a modern sporting


activity which involves running, jumping and climbing on buildings and structures. In the video, the young boys are


climbing on and around Greenhill School, St Teilo’s School and – most shockingly – eight storeys up on top


of the Croft Court building. A spokesperson for Dyfed-Powys


Police said: “The main aspect is safety, and while we are not trying to ruin anybody’s fun, this can be an extremely dangerous activity. “I would urge anybody


considering taking part to think very carefully about the dangers they are putting themselves and other members of the community in. “The other aspect is that youths are trespassing on the properties


where they are carrying out this activity.” Police say they have tracked


down and spoken to the participants of the video. They ask that anyone who witnesses trespassing to contact them by calling 101. A spokesperson for Pembrokeshire


County Council said: “Not only are they putting their lives at risk, they are acting illegally through trespassing on school property, and in no way do we condone their behaviour.”
