THE trial of a man charged with damaging a woman’s television has been discontinued.

Daniel James Treen was previously alleged to have damaged a television belonging to Sara Arnold on December 23.

The 30-year-old denied the charges at a previous hearing at South Cumbria Magistrates’ Court.

Mr Treen, of Duncan Street in Barrow, was due to appear at the same court for a trial on Thursday.

But the case was discontinued by magistrates and no evidence was offered.
