A 14-year-old boy has been given a Youth Rehabilitation Order for 18-months after a burglary at a house in West Swindon.

He will be required to carry out reparation activity for 14 hours over 14 days as well as being under curfew for 3 months – to remain at an address directed by the court between the hours of 7pm and 7am – this will be monitored by electronic tag.
The bike has now been reunited with its owner.
