Laser Offence

Breaking news......

Unemployed Wright (35) admitted endangering an aircraft, at an earlier hearing at the city’s magistrates court.

He also accepted the offence put him in breach of a suspended sentence relating to a battery charge.

Sentencing him today, Judge Marcus Tregilgas Davey said: “Your actions caused the pilot to be dazzled and lose concentration – and caused the team to abandon their task which involved a firearms incident. It wasn’t just one time, over a 15 minute period there were a number of bursts. The seriousness of this offence is blindingly obvious".
