A TEENAGER has been sentenced after pleading guilty to causing criminal damage. 

The 17-year-old Bradford boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons due to his young age, appeared before the West Yorkshire Youth Court, at Bradford and Keighley Magistrates' Court, on April 25. 

He was charged with one count of criminal damage to property valued under £5,000.

The offence happened on September 27, 2020 when he damaged a letterbox, an internal wall and television.

The total damage was estimated to be worth around £1,000.

The youth was referred to the Bradford Youth Offender panel for a six-month period. 

His parent/guardian must also pay compensation of £200 and an application was made for benefit deductions to recover the money.
