Limited road transport is operating in the Cornwall area.
Currently, we have closed Truro Station for safety purposes due to volumes of customers .

Someone on my Facebook who was on a train stuck at Truro says someone was threatening to jump from a bridge in St Austell.

i shouldnt imagine the individual has appeared in court and given a discharge already. you must of read about a different case.
a defendent has to be issued with minimum 6 weeks notice of a court appearance to prepare your legal defence, and such.

I think the post above referred to the "previous" of the individual concerned, for which he had received a conditional discharge in the past?
I'm also fairly sure that if the matter is dealt with by Magistrates rather than a Crown Court then the six-weeks doesn't necessarily apply - for example several Magistrates' Courts in London are working overtime right now to get through initial court appearances for all the people arrested and charged over the disorder in the last few days.

just repeating what I had heard on local radio this evening, where they certainly made it sound as if it was yesterdays incident.

are you sure about that. Plenty of cases already been concluded in London for people involved in the riots. |
