A man ordered to be extradited for grooming offences, a contractor who failed to provide a safe working environment and a violent offender carrying a baseball bat in public – these are just some people who have appeared at Grimsby Magistrates’ Court in recent days.
While some cases were adjourned to be tried at a later date and others were sent to Grimsby Crown Court, magistrates still handed out prison sentences, suspended sentences and hefty fines for offenders from across northern Lincolnshire.
