A MYSTERY of criminal damage on a garage forecourt was solved when detectives matched red and orange glass fragments with a suspect's car.

Jamie Dunn resented being sacked from the DTE Motoring Centre on the Hoo Farm industrial estate, Kidderminster magistrates heard.

He went to the firm's forecourt and caused £1,200 damage to a parked car, said prosecutor Nigel Reader.

Dunn, 24, of Church Lane, Far Forest, was fined £250, with £50 costs, and had another 50 hours added to his community work order. He admitted causing the damage and driving his car while disqualified and without insurance.

He also admitted a separate offence of being drunk and disorderly at Rock and had been in prison on remand, Dunn's solicitor, Alan Bull, told the magistrates.

He was on probation and subject to a work order for earlier offences.

But Dunn now had full-time work, a new home and had turned a corner in his life.
