A thief who stole hundreds of pounds’ worth of meat and chocolate from shops in Scunthorpe, a violent offender who assaulted two emergency workers and a woman who smashed a window of a popular bar have all appeared at Grimsby Magistrates’ Court in recent days.
While some cases were adjourned to be tried at a later date, others sent to Grimsby Crown Court and a few dismissed altogether, magistrates still did not hesitate in handing out prison sentences and hefty fines to offenders from across northern Lincolnshire.
