Friday, 20 September 2024 07:55

Two Ramsey men who damaged a boat in the harbour after they'd been out drinking have appeared in court.

36 year old Thomas Holmes of Traie Twoaie and 32 year old Gavin George Oates of North Shore Road both admitted criminal damage.

The court heard they tried to start the engine of the Sea Bay on July 31, damaging its propeller because there wasn't enough water in the harbour, and snapped the key in the ignition.

Each was fined £100 and ordered to pay £399 compensation and £125 costs by magistrates.
