Teenager to carry out 120 hours community service for driving offences

A teenager who's admitted a list of driving offences has been ordered to carry out 120 hours of unpaid work.

Callum Bennett, of Fairy Hill Close in Port Erin, appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse for sentencing.

The 17-year-old pleaded guilty to five counts each of having no insurance or driving licence, four of taking a vehicle without consent, and one of drink driving between November last year and February this year.

Bennett was arrested in Port Erin for drink driving on February 3, and a phone seized by police showed video footage of him driving the stolen vehicles.

As well as having to carry out 120 hours of community service, Bennett was handed a two-year probation order and banned from driving for two years.
