A HEREFORDSHIRE man has been handed more unpaid work after failing to turn up.

Rafal Narloch admitted one count of failing to comply with the community requirements of a suspended sentence order when he appeared before magistrates in Kidderminster in April.

The court heard from the probation service that the 30-year-old had been made subject to a suspended sentence by magistrates in Kidderminster on November 5.

But, magistrates were told, he had failed to attend initial unpaid work appointments, which he had been instructed by his supervising officer to attend, on November 11 and 29, in breach of the order.

He had then failed to provide acceptable evidence to cover his absences within five working days.

Magistrates said the order should continue and Narloch, of Old Market Close, Ross-on-Wye, was ordered to carry out a further 20 hours of unpaid work.
