17-year-old ‘threw traffic cone and rock’, court hears
A 17-year-old boy has admitted a charge of violent disorder relating to a protest in Plymouth on Monday night.
The defendant, who cannot be named due to his age, appeared before Plymouth Youth Court on Wednesday morning and pleaded guilty to the single charge against him.
Gareth Warden, prosecuting, told the court that police officers saw the boy throwing a traffic cone and a rock towards a large group of protesters in the Devon city’s centre.
District Judge Joanna Matson released the boy, from Plymouth, on conditional bail ahead of his sentencing hearing at Plymouth Youth Court on September 5.
