Chester man found at Connah's Quay home in breach of CBO
The 30-year-old admitted breaching a criminal behaviour order (CBO) by attending High Street in Connah's Quay on Saturday (July 12).
Prosecutor James Ashton told the court that the CBO was imposed in September 2019 and subsequently amended and extended last year to run until September 2027.
It imposes a number of conditions upon the defendant, chiefly for the purposes of Monday's court hearing prohibiting Kutryk form entering Connah's Quay.
On the day of the offence, police received a report that Kutryk had been seen in the area.
Officers attended an address following information received and were told to "f*** off" by the occupant.
But after gaining entry to the property, a search was carried out and ultimately, Kutryk was found under a pile of washing in the kitchen.
He was arrested and taken to custody in Llay.
Mr Ashton told the court Kutryk had breached the CBO seven times previously.
Gary Harvey, defending, told the court his client's latest offending came shortly after he was released from custody on his last sentence.
Following release, Mr Harvey said, he was placed in his temporary accommodation in Chester but didn't have his medication.

"And he had one on the morning of this incident.
"Staff [at the accommodation] discussed an ambulance, but he went to his partner's address in Connah's Quay; he felt safer there and felt he'd be looked after better.
"Someone told the police, who went there.
"He was very compliant with officers and told them: "I know I shouldn't be here."
Mr Harvey conceded his client's behaviour had constituted a deliberate breach of the CBO.

Kutryk himself them interjected, telling the court: "I'm institutionalised. I want to go back to prison."
The Magistrates agreed the breach had been "persistent" in nature and jailed the defendant for 18 months.
Kutryk was ordered to pay £85 costs and a £154 victim surcharge.

Connah's Quay man jailed for 20 weeks after assaulting woman
Owain Hughes-Lewis, of Garrick Close in Connah's Quay, appeared for sentence at Wrexham Magistrates Court on Wednesday afternoon via video link from prison. The 27-year-old had previously admitted one offence of criminal damage and had been found guilty in his absence of one offence of assault by beating. Prosecutor Rebecca Ross told the court that the victim in the case was a woman named Katherine Walker. In the early hours of June 8 this year, she called police to report the defendant was at her home in Northop Hall and had "beaten her up." When officers attended, she pointed to her bruised eye and said "look what he has done to me." However she did not let the officers document the injury and told them the defendant had left the scene - following which they left. Ms Walker did call the police again a short time later to say Hughes-Lewis had returned, and the officers re-attended. But she would not let them in when they got there and said once again he wasn't there. Officers did eventually gain access to the property and found the defendant within. Hughes-Lewis was handcuffed and placed into a police vehicle, where he banged his head on the window and spat, which required cleaning to rectify. The court heard his actions during the above incident also put him in breach of a domestic violence protection order (DVPO) - and the offence on June 8 was not his first against Ms Walker. Ms Ross told the court North Wales Police was seeking to impose a DAPO (Domestic Abuse Protection Order) for a period of 12 months in order to prevent the defendant from seeing or contacting the victim. Gary Harvey, defending, told the court: "This is a case where the alleged victim did not provide any evidence or statement whatsoever and was reluctant to get involved in the process. "He has the previous offence against the same victim and when he is released from prison, she seeks him out. "She will probably do that again, despite already having a DVPO. "She will not leave him alone, and the worry about the DAPO is that she needs to be told by the police that she can't have anything to do with him." Mr Harvey said his client continues to deny the assault (for which he was found guilty in his absence.) "Owain has mental health problems," he added. MORE COURT NEWS "In addition to ADHD he has anxiety and depression and he's suffered greatly since he's been [in custody]." The Magistrates noted the defendant's failure to comply with court orders and his breach of the DVPO in committing the latest offence, in addition to the fact it was not the first he'd committed against her. As such, the Bench jailed Hughes-Lewis for a total of 20 weeks and ordered him to pay £665 costs, as well as a £154 victim surcharge Furthermore, the court did impose a DAPO for a period of two years, the conditions of which are not to contact Katherine Walker and not to go within 100 metres of a specified location in Northop Hall, as well as not to input any data about her on social media.

Police stopped drivers to test their eyes but found a lot more to worry about
Police stopped motorists to test their eyesight and check road safety, but found themselves busy with a range of misdemeanours. The checks under Op Eyesight were conducted in Flint yesterday (Monday) as part of a road safety operation done by officers from the Roads Crime Unit. It was held at the fire station on Coast Road, which also scrutinised vehicles for roadworthiness, in addition to checking if the eyesight of the driver reached a required standard. A North Wales Police spokesperson said: "All drivers must be able to read a legal, clean registration plate from 20 metres in daylight conditions. "Fortunately, of the 79 drivers stopped, all passed their eyesight test with no issues and the majority continued their journey within a couple of minutes." However, despite positive eyesight results, several TORs (Traffic Offence Report) were handed out to drivers for offences including: 13 x driving without a seatbelt 4 x driving whilst using a mobile phone 2 x no MOT 1 X defective tyre (cord exposed) 4 x driving without insurance 2 x number plate offences 3 x insecure loads 3 x stop searches 2 x PG9 Prohibition Notices issued, which restricts the use of a vehicle on a public road due to safety concerns A driver was also arrested on suspicion of drug driving after testing positive for cannabis at the roadside. He has since been released pending further investigation as officers await the results of further tests. The police spokesperson added: "Two electric scooters were also seized. The law currently permits the use of e-scooters only as part of government-approved rental trials – of which there are none in north Wales, or they can be used on private land with the landowner's permission. Privately owned e-scooters remain illegal to use on public roads, pavements and cycle paths. "Further advice and information with regards to e-scooters is available on our website: Advice on e-scooter usage | North Wales Police." Sergeant Duncan Logan of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: 'Good eyesight is essential for safe driving, and we make no apologies in trying to reduce serious and fatal collisions in line with road safety initiatives such as this one held yesterday. 'Road safety is everyone's responsibility, and every single day we act against those responsible for illegal driving. 'Further operations will be carried out over the upcoming months as we are committed to making the roads of north Wales as safe as possible. If this operation prevented one person from being injured or worse, killed – then we see it as a success.'

Seagull airgun shooting in North Wales seaside town sparks police probe
A seagull was left with a large wound after being shot in a residential area. North Wales Police (NWP) are appealing for the public's help after the bird was found in Llandudno Junction, Conwy. The NWP rural crime team said the seagull was discovered in the town's Maes Cwstennin area on the morning of July 4. The bird was examined by vets, who confirmed it had been shot by an air weapon. A team spokesperson said: 'All wild birds are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside act. Additionally, officers are concerned about an air weapon being used in a residential area, which could have injured members of the public or family pets as well.' Herring gulls divide opinion in many seaside towns and on occasion they have been targeted by residents. Last year the NWP rural crime team said they received 'numerous reports' of the illegal shooting of gulls. Many of the incidents were on coastal parts of Denbighshire, along the Abergele /Pensarn area of Conwy. It is understood air rifles were used in the incidents – police warned this could constitute a firearms offence. In June 2018, three gulls were feared shot dead with an air rifle in Prestatyn, Denbighshire. In another notorious incident, a seagull was left wandering around the streets of Rhyl with a crossbow bolt sticking out from its head. Others, in Towyn, are thought to have been similarly targeted. More recently, bird lovers have flagged another disturbing trend – people apparently scattering food across roads and filming gulls being run over. Herring gulls are a species of conservation concern in the UK with populations in decline. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox The RSPCA has condemned the attacks, urging coastal communities to treat their wildlife 'with kindness'. Anybody with information that could help the rural crime team with the latest seagull attack should contact the NWP website or call 101, quoting reference 25000552700.
