A MAN who smashed a car windscreen in Hereford has been ordered to pay over £150.

Joshua Lewis entered a guilty plea to one count of criminal damage when he appeared before Hereford magistrates this month.

A car windscreen had been damaged by 27-year-old Lewis in Hereford on July 12 last year, prosecutor Lauren Millichip told the court.

Lewis, represented at the hearing on April 9 by defence solicitor Andrew Cleal, was identified as the person responsible for the damage, the court heard. He admitted the offence of criminal damage.
