A MAN who breached his community rehabilitation order only days after it was imposed has had a new order imposed by magistrates.
Dustin Robinson, of Pierremont Crescent, Darlington, was issued with the 12-month order on May 18 this year for theft.
South Durham Magistrates' Court heard yesterday how the former heroin addict then failed to attend meetings organised with the probation service on May 26 and June 2.
The court was told that the 28-year-old was no longer taking drugs and was prepared to comply with an order.
Robinson admitted the breach and was issued with a 12-month community punishment and rehabilitation order.
