Duo launched 'vigilante' attack on North Warwickshire house
"TWO vigilantes vandalised a Warwickshire house belonging to someone they wrongfully believed was a paedophile, a court heard.
Jason Dawe and Gary Taylor caused £10,000 damage after cutting through copper water pipes and flooding the property.
The incident happened at an empty house in North Warwickshire in July.
Dawe, 30, of St Nicholas Estate, Baddesley Ensor, and Taylor, 49, of Boot Hill, Grendon, admitted causing criminal damage.
At Leamington Crown Court, the pair were each jailed for 12 months, suspended for 18 months, and placed under an electronically-tagged curfew for four months [laughable].
They were also each ordered to pay £255 costs.
Judge Alan Parker slammed the pair for taking the law into their own hands as no charges had been brought against the owner of the property."
