JUDGMENT
THE DEPUTY BAILIFF:
1. Your advocate said that there is much good in you and we agree. The Court recognised this when it gave you a chance in January by placing you on probation and the Magistrate's Court has also recognised this on two occasions and placed you on probation in January and then imposed community service in July. This is shown by the fact that you did so very well to start with.
2. We have read the reports and it is quite clear that you were making good progress with the Probation Service and with the Prince's Trust and all appeared to be going well. We accept that withdrawal of the offer of employment must have been a blow, but we all suffer blows in life and the secret is to try and fight back and overcome them. Unfortunately you did not take that course, you reverted to your old ways and as a result you have not even bothered to turn up for any community service, nor have you co-operated in any way with your probation officer in recent times.
3. You were warned in January what would happen if you did not comply with your probation order and therefore we have no alternative now but to impose a sentence of youth detention. We are not happy to do this because we accept that you showed great promise but you were given offers of help but you have rejected them.
4. We hope that you will be given help in the prison as well and that when you come out you will be under supervision, but we are satisfied that there is no alternative to a custodial sentence because of your failure to respond to non-custodial sentences.
5. The conclusions are granted. We accept they take into account the mitigation such as writing your own indictment and the small amount. On Count 1 , 6 months' youth detention, on Count 2, 2 months' youth detention, and on Count 3, 2 weeks' youth detention, Count 4, 2 months' youth detention, all of these concurrent. In relation to all the offences with which you were dealt with by the Magistrate's Court, 6 weeks' youth detention. Total 6 months' youth detention.
