A MAN who caused £350 in damage to a woman’s door has been ordered to compensate her for his crime.

Darren Lloyd, 40, admitted damaging the wooden door frame on May 21 in Colchester when he appeared at Colchester Magistrates’ Court.

Following his court appearance, a restraining order was made preventing Lloyd from contacting his victim.

Lloyd, of Taylors Road, Rowhedge, must also pay £350 in compensation alongside £479 in a fine, surcharge and costs.
