A BARROW teen will be sentenced later this month after being accused of assault and criminal damage.

On October 17 at South Cumbria Magistrates' Court in Barrow it was heard how on October 14 a 16-year-old defendant assaulted another person. The following day on October 15 they caused £300 of damage to furniture including a coffee table, plaster walls, a vase and a door frame.

They pleaded guilty to both offences.

The youth's case has been remitted to a magistrates' court in another part of the country until October 31 for sentencing.

The defendant cannot be named for legal reasons.
