Man narrowly avoids jail after racially aggravated attack on historic Shrewsbury hotel
A man who smashed windows in an attack on a Shrewsbury town centre hotel has narrowly avoided jail.
Rory Allington-Mott admitted racially aggravated criminal damage when he appeared at Kidderminster Magistrates Court today.
About 20 windows of the Grade 1 listed Lion Hotel in Wyle Cop were damaged last Thursday when the hotel was targeted by the 33-year-old of High Street, Newport.
Allington-Mott was given a 24-week prison sentence suspended for 12 months and ordered to carry out 120 hours of unpaid work. He was also ordered to pay costs of £185 and compensation to the Lion Hotel of £1680 and also pay a victim charge of £154.
The investigating officer PC Chloe Spiers said: “We are really pleased with the quick and efficient way in which this case has been dealt with. I hope this reassures our communities that we will act quickly and decisively to bring offenders to justice.”
