A Hemel teenager has been ordered to pay £600 after pleading guilty to two incidents of criminal damage at Hatfield Remand Court.

Loughran was fined £200, plus compensation of £300 and additional costs of £115.
PC Stephen Smiley, from Herts Police, said: “The damage which Loughran caused to the crops was extensive and caused a great loss to the farmers who owned the fields.”
