Man jailed for 10 weeks after damaging flat and assaulting another man in Lowestoft

A man has been jailed for 10 weeks after an incident in Lowestoft in which a property was damaged and another man was assaulted.

Aaron Crinnion, 29, and of no fixed abode, was handed the jail sentence at a hearing at Norwich Magistrates Court earlier this week.

Crinnion was charged with assault and two counts of criminal damage after officers were called to a flat in Trafalgar Street in the town at about 11am on Saturday, August 1.

Police said they had received reports that a man had attended the property and kicked the bottom pane of glass from a communal door.

A police spokesman said: "The man then demanded money from the two occupants, a man in his 40s and a woman in her 70s.

"A third man in the property was also assaulted and had his mobile phone taken.

"Further damage to three internal doors at the property were also sustained before the offender left the premises."

Police arrested Crinnion shortly afterwards and he was taken to Great Yarmouth Police Investigation Centre for questioning.

He was remanded to appear before Norwich Magistrates Court on Monday, August 3, where was given a 10 weeks jail sentence for two counts of criminal damage and one of assault.
