A vigilante involved in the torching of an innocent man’s Jaguar had previously been locked up for his role in a ‘happy-slapping’ torture ordeal.
Ross Lambert was jailed this week after a court heard he and an unknown associate wrote off the car of a man they wrongly believed was a paedophile. The judge said there were similarities between his latest case and the suffering he inflicted upon a teen in a Wirral field 11 years ago.
Now 28, Lambert appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday after admitting arson. During the incident, in October, he smashed the window of the white Jaguar with a hammer.
