Grandson broke into gran's Durham home he was banned from going to and asked for cash

A grandson breached a restraining order after breaking into his gran's home by smashing a window and asking for money.

Alfie Mavin was banned from going to his grandmother's home in Durham, but breached the restraining order after turning up to her property unannounced on January 27 and January 30, this year. The 21-year-old, of no fixed address, appeared at Durham Crown Court, via link from HMP Durham, on Thursday to be sentenced for the two breaches.

Ian West, prosecuting, said the first breach was carried out on January 27, he said: "The defendant turned up to his grandmother's house while his mum was there. He was pleading with her to give him money to buy socks before he ran away. He came back a couple of times and entered the roof space. The occupants could hear something in the roof. He was not apprehended."
