A learner-driver who piled his father's car into a bus stop, then kicked in his own front door in a bid to fake its theft, has been spared jail.
Carlo Cesari, 21, was over three-and-a-half times the drink-driving limit at the time of the incident, on May 20, 2022.
Falkirk Sheriff Court was told that about 3.30 am police were phoned by Cesari, who reported his dad's Renault Scenic Authentique had been stolen from his home in the town's St Crispin's Place.
