A teenager who breached his community order has been fined in court after admitting the offence.
Nineteen-year-old Daniel Thomas Bain, formerly of The Maudlins, Tenby, appeared at Haverfordwest Magistrates Court on Monday to answer the charge.
Mr. Bain was accused of failing to attend an unpaid work appointment on April 8 and a planned office visit on October 15.
He was also accused of failing to provide acceptable evidence as to why he missed the scheduled appointments.
The original community order was made by Haverfordwest Magistrates Court on February 12.
He committed offences including theft and criminal damage when he went on a spray-painting spree in Tenby - graffitiing the words ‘Tenby BMT’ on the side of a hotel as well as male genitalia, which led to the community order being imposed.
Probation officer, Julie Norman told the court that Mr. Bain had relocated to Hemel Hampstead to live with his mother after the order had been imposed.
She said that the defendant’s attendance was not satisfactory and that Mr. Bain had disengaged with the probation service which led to the proceedings.
Magistrates then heard from defence solicitor Jonathan Webb.
He said that the relocation did not work out for his client and that life had been chaotic.
Mr. Webb added that the defendant had been made homeless for reasons that weren’t disclosed.
However, he said that Mr. Bain would be speaking to Pembrokeshire County Council about getting rehoused as the defendant was moving back to the area.
Mr. Webb concluded his remarks by saying his client would be re-engaging with the order.
Magistrates fined the defendant £80 along with costs of £50.
