Anti-vaxxer who attacked two Covid jab centres with stones in 'last chance of influencing people' faces jail

An anti-vaxxer who hurled stones through windows at two Covid vaccination centres - causing damage estimated at £11,000 and injuring a security guard - is facing a jail sentence. Paul Leonard Edwards, 58, from Warrington, told a jury in court he felt his actions were his 'last chance of making an impact in influencing people against the vaccines'.

He said he believed jabs were a 'danger' to the public. Edwards - who represented himself in court - said he collected stones from a beach in Wales and hurled them at two centres. He was found guilty at Mold Crown Court of two counts of damaging property.

A judge warned him that, because of his actions in Llandudno and St Asaph over two nights in December, he was likely to be jailed at a sentencing hearing today - Thursday.
