    A 41-year-old man who damaged five police cars has been jailed.

    Stephen McCouid, of no fixed abode, but originally from the Liverpool area, appeared at Llandudno Magistrates Court this week, August 14th.

    He pleaded guilty to five counts of criminal damage.

    During the evening of Monday, August 12th, McCouid used a stone to smash the windscreens and windows of five police cars outside Caernarfon police station.

    He was jailed for 10 weeks.

    Gwynedd North District Inspector Ian Roberts said: “This mindless and unwarranted act of damage against emergency service vehicles cannot be comprehended.

    “The vehicles damaged remain out of service whilst they are being repaired.

    “Thankfully, we were still able to respond to emergencies during the busy school holidays, but this could have been very different.”
