“Anyone with further information about the incident can report it to Sussex Police online or by calling 101 and quote serial 197 of 24/07.”
Not the brightest spark? lol
Are the bail conditions not to go in Tesco, lol, do you get extra clubcard points for such behaviour.
Almost certainly. Will also likely be things like not carrying any firestarting equipment or material on him in public and a curfew.
