Pond Street interchange: Woman banned from Sheffield bus station jailed after vandalising police van
A woman who was banned from Sheffield bus station has been jailed after she vandalised a police van.
Chantelle Sykes, of Pollard Crescent, near Southey Green, was banned from the bus interchange on Pond Street, unless she was getting a bus there, in March 2022, when Doncaster magistrates issued a Criminal Behaviour Order against her.
But the 31-year-old broke the ban on August 31 last year when she turned up at the bus station.
Then, 10 days later, she vandalised a Mercedes Sprinter van belonging to South Yorkshire Police, causing £100 worth of damage, heard Sheffield magistrates.
She was arrested the next day, and then appeared before Sheffield magistrates on August 26, 2024, charged with breach of a criminal banning order, and criminal damage.
Sykes pleaded guilty to both charges and was sentenced at the same court on Thursday, February, 27, to eight weeks in prison, and given a three-year criminal banning order.
