Plymouth court list: 11 men and women face justice
Despite fewer court hearing days over the festive season magistrates in Plymouth were still kept busy with a multitude of offenders from across the Devon region.
Many of those brought before Plymouth Magistrates' Court hailed from outside the Plymouth area, committing crimes in other parts of Devon, but were sent to this court to be dealt with.
During the two weeks covering Christmas and New Year revealed a number of offenders and it's likely that any of those arrested during that time - especially those foolish folk who took the risk but ended up being caught drink or drug driving - will be appearing in the court in the coming weeks.
