Teenager locked up after harassing South Shields woman and wrecking her gate
A teenager has been locked up after committing two offences against the same woman on consecutive days.
Christopher James Morrison admitted harassing his victim on October 9 when he visited her South Shields home “on numerous occasions when not welcome”.
Morrison, 19, of no fixed address, also pleaded guilty to causing £50 of damage to the woman’s front gate the previous day.
South Tyneside Magistrates’ Court has now locked him up for eight weeks after deciding the offences were “so serious” because they were committed shortly after his release from custody and were “aggravated by his previous record of offending”.
