Bond’s Street womanstoned ‘snob’s’ house

Rebecca Bishop, who is aged 22, of number 4, Pine Street, Derry admitted causing criminal damage to the house and disorderly behaviour on August 9.

Local District Judge Barney McElholm asked for a pre-sentence report on the defendant to prepared in advance of his sentencing.

The twenty-two-year-old woman will return to Londonderry Magistrates’ Court in order to be sentenced by District Judge McElholm next month.

Bishop’s sentencing date has been set for October 9, 2015.
