Plymouth court list: 20 Plymouth offenders face the magistrates

Risk takers are often lauded in the business world, but by the same token taking risks does not always end well and those who have tried their luck sometimes end up in front of a magistrates awaiting their fate.

Speeding in areas where one is not supposed to drive fast, driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, ignoring court orders, repeatedly stealing from shops, using someone else's bank cards, or attacking emergency workers are all examples of risky behaviour which did not end well for these 20 Plymouth people.
