A SKIPTON man has been jailed for 16 months and given a restraining order after carrying out a revenge attack on a Bradford family.

In Bradford Crown Court, Daniel Brayshaw, 23, of Cowper Street, Skipton, was sentenced to 16 months in prison for an arson attack on a car at a Bingley home. In the same attack on February 21, he damaged a house window and damaged a door and window at another Bingley home.

He was charged with arson and two counts of criminal damage.

In mitigation, the court was told Brayshaw, 23, who had an on-off relationship with a woman, had a phone call with her where he made a number of threats.

"I'm going to smash your house up," he said. "I'm going to make you suffer. You're going to get what's coming to you."

When he came to see her at her mother's home, Brayshaw smashed the front and rear windows of her mother's car using a metal bar.

He then lit a cloth and threw it into the car before throwing the bar at the kitchen window.

He came back to the car and threw another lit cloth into the front seat, which caught fire and was put out by a neighbour with a fire extinguisher.

Brayshaw then went to her father's Bingley home and damaged a door and window there.

In sentencing Brayshaw to 16 months and instituting a restraining order to keep Brayshaw from the family, Recorder Judy Dawson said: "You acted in a disgraceful way to terrorise this family."
