A man who threatened to set fire to a car at a holiday park in Borth has been handed a community order by magistrates.

Jordan Matthews, of 29 Bannister Hall Crescent, Higher Walton, Walton-Le-Dale, Lancashire, appeared for sentencing before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on 10 July.

The 30-year-old had pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing in June to threatening Ashley Sharples to set fire to a car belonging to her father at Brynowen Holiday Centre in Borth on 28 May.

Matthews also admitted damaging the wing mirror of a Ford Fiesta belonging to Ashley Sharples on the same day.

Matthews was handed a community order to include 100 hours of unpaid work and rehabilitation.

He must also pay £85 costs and a £114 surcharge.
