Port Erin teenager pleads guilty to series of car offences

Photos and videos showed him behind the wheel of four separate vehicles

A teenager from Port Erin will be sentenced in May after taking a number of vehicles without the owners' consent. 

Callum David Bennett, of Fairy Hill Close, was described as ‘clearly a persistent offender’ during an appearance at Douglas Courthouse.

The 17-year-old was arrested by police on 3 February after drink driving; he had a provisional driving licence, which had expired, and no insurance. 

Bennett was subsequently linked to a series of TWOC offences - which had taken place between November and December last year - after photos and videos found on another person’s phone, showed Bennett behind the wheel of four separate vehicles.

At Douglas Courthouse he entered guilty pleas to four counts of taking a conveyance without permission for his own use, five counts of no insurance, five counts of having no driving licence and one of drink driving. 

Proceedings were adjourned until 2 May whilst a social enquiry report is prepared; he remains on bail until that date.
