Man jailed for defacing murals in the Fountain

Robert Norton (39) of no fixed abode admitted 4 offences of criminal damage to the murals on November 12.

A previous Court heard police were called to reports of paint damage.

The organisation behind the murals told police the incident was seen as a hate crime, the court heard.

Damage was put at £1,200.

Norton did not appear due to a technical issue but was sentenced to 8 months in prison.
