An Aberystwyth man who was found guilty of two assaults has been given a community order.

Robert Dare, of 13 Cwrt Newydd, Llanbadarn Road, had previously pleaded not guilty to the assaults of Michael Thomas and Nicola Thomas in Taliesin on 21 February.

Found guilty, the 63-year-old was sentenced to a community order to include 80 hours of unpaid work by Llanelli magistrates last week.

He must also pay £100 compensation, £620 costs and a £114 surcharge.­
