A ROUND-UP of recent cases heard at Newport Magistrates’ Court.
KIERAN CHRISTOPHER DAVIES, 33, of Watch House Parade, Newport, was jailed for eight weeks, suspended for six months, after he admitted the “nasty offence” of stealing a child’s mountain bike worth £750 last summer.
He was also ordered to pay £200 compensation.
The sentence was suspended due to the "age of the offence" and the fact that he had “received numerous terms of imprisonment since”.
