A PLUMBER has been handed an 18-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £75 compensation after he threw a plant pot through a window.

Andrew Lawrence Blair, aged 19, of Walnut Close, Peterborough, pleaded guilty to three counts of destroying property at the home of his grandparents and father in West Kingsdown.

The court heard how Blair threw a ceramic plant pot through the window of the property and broke another window with a rock.

He was also charged with damaging an antique basin and bathroom jug.

Magistrates heard how Blair's father had tried to build bridges with his son after not being in his life.

But on the day of the incident the relationship with his father and grandparents broke down and Blair became angry.

Blair was ordered to pay court costs of £43.
