Two youths who set fire to toilets in Bridson Street, Port Erin, have appeared before the High Bailiff for sentence.

19 year old Kevin James Crellin of Port Erin was given 120 hours community service and placed in probation for two years. He was also ordered to attend drug and alcohol courses and submit to random drug checks twice a month.

18 year old Sean Thomas Patrick O'Neill of Fairy Hill, Ballafesson, was placed on eighteen months probation.

The incident occurred at 2.20am on June 18th and the damage caused amounted to ?707.

Mr Moyle said he could not make a compensation order because neither man had the money. However he noted in the social report that Crellin spent his time drinking and smoking cannabis.
