A 19 year-old-man from Exmouth has been jailed for four years and nine months following months of work by police to tackle crime in Exmouth.
Phoenix Sandy, aged 19 and of no fixed abode in Exmouth, appeared at Exeter Crown Court on Monday 6 July, where he pled guilty for his part in an incident of grievous bodily harm with intent. He was jailed for four years and nine months.
Inspector Mat Helm leads policing teams in Exmouth and Ottery St Mary. He said “Sandy has brought violent and disruptive criminality into the town and has been involved in a number of anti-social behaviour and violence offences around Exmouth.
“His behaviour has directly impacted the quality of life for many people living here and we’re pleased that this sentence prevents this disruption from continuing.
“I want to be clear that this outcome would not have been possible without support and information provided to us by our local community. Please keep reporting anti-social behaviour and suspicious activity to us so that we can continue to ensure Exmouth is a safe place to live, work and visit.”
Anyone with concerns or information about antisocial behaviour should report it to police online using the reporting tool on the force website: www.dc.police.uk or by calling 101.
