A teenager who smashed his way into a stranger’s home in the middle of the night has been jailed.
Isaac Nathan Cain of Edmond Chadwick Grove in Douglas appeared before High Bailiff Jayne Hughes at Douglas Courthouse.
He admitted breaching a probation order imposed after he’d pleaded guilty to criminal damage at an earlier court appearance.
The 18 year old smashed a window and climbed into a woman’s flat at Riverdale in Braddan on June 5 after a 10-day cocaine binge.
He told police he’d also drunk a bottle of spirits and thought the building was his father’s home.
After hearing there was no accommodation for Cain on the Island, Mrs Hughes said it was outrageous there was no facility to house young people.
She said she had no option but to discharge the probation order and jail Cain for 10 weeks.
