Car number plates have many uses, they can help the police if the car is stolen and they can even be used for enforcing parking and traffic violations. But one woman has found a new use, as she used a number plate to launch an attack on a love rival.
The attack happened in the Reuben’s, a pub in Port Talbot, Wales, when Candice Wanklyn, 23, walked into the pub holding a car number plate, Jodie Walters-Thomas realised that there could be trouble a soon as Wanklyn approached her.
What made it worse for Walters-Thomas was that the number plate had been taken off her own car. But by before she had anytime to react, Wanklyn had used the number plate to hit her across the head.
As Walters-Thomas left the pub, she noticed that her car, a mini had been further vandalised finding scratches and dents around the bodywork.
Alistair David. Prosecuting said, "She saw the defendant walk into the pub and she was holding a vehicle number plate."
"She noticed the index number was her own. The defendant was holding it and appeared to be laughing."
"It struck her to the left side of her forehead,"
Leuan Jeffries, defending, said, "She was not thinking straight."
"It is minor in scale with regards to the ABH. This has been confirmed by the doctor."
Wanklyn who had no previous convictions was given a twelve month community order with supervision, a hundred hours of unpaid work, fined £850 for the damage to the mini and finally a £100 for the attack on Walters-Thomas.
