Chester man found at Connah's Quay home in breach of CBO

Lee Kutryk, of Parkgate Road in Chester, was produced in custody at Wrexham Magistrates Court on Monday. 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. Lee Kutryk (NWP) (Image: North Wales Police) "He had seizures," he explained. "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. MORE COURT NEWS 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.

'Large fines and massive inconvenience' needed at under-siege Eryri lake to avoid more 'Third World chaos'

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A lakeside car park in Gwynedd has again been closed as holidaymakers take advantage of the warm weather. Residents in Bala are bracing for another day of 'Third World chaos' after scores of cars parked inconsiderately in the area yesterday (Saturday, July 12). North Wales Police (NWP) have warned that more vehicles risk being towed if they ignore parking restrictions. It follows calls for greater enforcement as well as the provision of expanded parking facilities. In a social media post, NWP said Bala was again experiencing a visitor surge today (Sunday, July 13). A spokesperson said: 'As the warm weather continues we have the same issue as yesterday. The car park for Llyn Tegid is currently closed as it is full. 'Anyone wishing to visit the lake are advised to park in Bala town and walk down. Due to this there is a great deal of congestion so motorists just passing through the area are advised to find another route wherever possible.' On Saturday the Llangower car park on the opposite side of the lake was also closed, prompting visitors to park up on the narrow B4403. The resulting congestion prompted local Neighbourhood Police officers and National Park wardens to remove vehicles that were parked 'dangerously and inconsiderately'. Last year, following similar parking issues, the road was designated a Clearway, prohibiting stopping except for emergency vehicles. The NWP Gwynedd South policing team warned they will tow more cars today if the problem is repeated. 'If you are visiting the area please be mindful of where you park,' said a spokesperson. 'Avoid causing obstructions to the roadway and footpaths, or risk having your vehicle recovered.' Join the North Wales Live Whatsapp community now (Image: NWP Gwynedd South) 'Inappropriate' parking was reported across North Wales yesterday, from Llanberis to Llangollen. However the spotlight fell on Bala due to the sheer weight of visitors and the problems caused. One local said: 'It was horrendous down there. I was there at 9.15 and it was full. The wardens were doing their best and when I came to leave at 11.30, they were operating a 1 in 1 out system. However, when I got to the lane, cars were just stopping on the side. The lane is narrow enough already.' Another noted how cars were parked in 'dangerous places'. A third added: 'We went through and it was crazy where cars were parked!' A common online suggestion is for the authorities to provide more parking and for farmers to be encouraged to open up their fields. Both ideas have major drawbacks, not least Eryri's remit to preserve the beauty of the National Park and not concrete it over. Agricultural change of use persmissions would also be needed. However late last month plans were approved to increase the capacity of the Llangower car park by 50%. New gates and APNR cameras are also due to be installed here and at the Llyn Tegid car park. To prevent more chaos breaking out in Bala and elsewhere, some people want 'large fines and massive inconvenience' for those who park inconsiderately. Others prefer equally draconian measures. 'Maybe make the car parks pre-booking only and double yellow line all the way along the road?' suggested one woman online. Another added: 'Perhaps Bala should go down the same route as Nant Ffrancon (sic) and ban all parking that's not in a car park. Llyn Ogwen used to be a nightmare in the summer but now it's much easier to drive past.' There is some sympathy for day-trippers who drive long distances only to find their destinations tantalisingly out of reach for lack of parking. While public transport is encouraged, it's also accepted that many people are still wedded to their cars. Some holidaymakers are also anxious not to be tarred by the same brush. On social media, one said: 'When and where we do we don't treat the place like our own private theme park - we don't park illegally but drive on to find somewhere quieter. 'We don't block bus stops and farmers' gateways, we treat the local community with consideration and we don't leave mounds of rubbish and worse behind. And we are quite happy to pay the tourist tax which is collected in most places now, not just in Wales!' Wales' Visitor Levy – dubbed a tourist tax – is due from 2027 and it will only be implemented in counties whose councils adopt the measure.
