Theft *
Sentence
28 weeks imprisonment, suspended for 18 months, plus 120 hours unpaid work, mental health treatment requirement, and 20 rehabilitation activity sessions
Darren Jones stole £7,808.58 from his friend Hannah Parry between January 2 and May 14, 2023, by misusing her bank card. He exploited her trust after the death of her friend in January 2023, frequently visiting her under the guise of helping, including collecting her shopping.

Initially denied the charge but later pleaded guilty. Described as 'greedy and callous' by the judge. Has one previous conviction and is genuinely remorseful. No re-offending since, and now a father.

Supply of Cocaine *
Sentence
18 months imprisonment
Jesse Crofts was arrested at a Travelodge hotel in Holyhead on December 16, 2022, after police found him in possession of a small amount of cannabis and drug paraphernalia in his rucksack.

Pleaded guilty to cannabis possession and being concerned in the supply of cocaine. Has six previous convictions. Judge Timothy Petts noted his history of poor compliance with court orders and suggested that his involvement in drugs stemmed from debts related to cannabis use.

40 months in a Young Offenders Institution
On the afternoon of Monday, 18 August, outside Caffi Seren on Bethesda High Street, Thomas Baker deliberately drove his white Audi A3 into a 37-year-old male victim at speed after a physical altercation involving the victim, his friend, Baker, and another male.

Garmon Thomas
Racial harassment *
Sentence
18 months imprisonment suspended for 18 months, plus 35 sessions of an accredited programme and 20 days rehabilitation
Garmon Thomas, a 52-year-old homeless man, confronted Eric Ledru and his friends in Llandudno on February 1 after they parked near where he was sleeping. He racially abused Mr Ledru, telling him to 'f*** off' and 'go back to your own country', then pulled out a 3cm Stanley knife, threatened to slash their car tyres, and attempted to stab the tyre before they drove away. Thomas was arrested, and the incident was part of his ongoing issues related to homelessness and drug addiction.
Defence urged against custodial sentence due to obtaining a stable address after 19 years of homelessness and overcoming a 20-year drug habit. Judge commended efforts to turn life around and addressed attitudes towards different races.
