A vandal who caused damage to 20 cars in a random outburst avoids imprisonment.
Kevin Myers, a 62-year-old man, caused chaos in Warrington town center in February 2024. It all started when he became aggressive and unruly after being asked to leave a store for "scaring customers." This behavior was not new for Kevin, who has a history of previous convictions from 2017. He suffers from bipolar disorder, which may have contributed to his actions.

Three weeks before his destructive spree, Kevin had a confrontation with a shop owner, Waqar Qayyaaum, who asked him to leave his store. This encounter seemed to have triggered something in Kevin, as he went on to damage the door handle of Waqar's BMW parked outside. And just when everyone thought things couldn't get any worse, Kevin's behavior escalated further. He decided to vandalize 22 more vehicles in the town, using a sharp instrument for no apparent reason.

Among the cars targeted were a Jaguar XF, an Audi Q5, and a 2023 MG4 Trophy. All of this caused chaos and inconvenience to the owners, who had to deal with the damages caused by Kevin. In March, he was sentenced to three weeks in jail for damaging three of the vehicles. However, this week he appeared before the court again for the remaining offenses.

During his court appearance, Kevin was spared from serving time in jail and was instead given a suspended sentence of 12 weeks. He was also ordered to pay £154 to Mr Qayyaum for the damage caused to his car. As he walked out of the courtroom, Kevin told the court staff, "Merry Christmas. I won't be seeing you again."

The prosecutor, Robert Earl, explained how Kevin's actions were unprovoked and seemed to have no motive. He described how Kevin went on a rampage, damaging 23 cars in total, for no apparent reason. He also mentioned that Kevin has a history of offending against multiple people, causing chaos and inconvenience to innocent victims.

The court heard that Kevin had vandalized the cars by scratching them with a sharp instrument. He was caught on CCTV, and members of the public also recorded him in the act. When asked for a reason for his actions, Kevin had none to give. The prosecutor noted that the damage caused had a significant impact on the victims, who had to go through the inconvenience of fixing their cars.

Despite the chaos and damage caused, Kevin seemed unapologetic and unbothered. He had no explanation for his actions and just carried on offending. The prosecutor expressed his disbelief and incomprehension towards Kevin's behavior, but acknowledged that it was not his job to understand. Kevin was sentenced to a suspended prison sentence and ordered to pay compensation to one of the victims. As he left the courtroom, Kevin confidently told the staff that they wouldn't be seeing him again.
