A number of people from Bolton have recently been before the courts.

Magistrates have dealt with a variety of offences including driving ones and theft.

Here are the people who have recently been in court.

Stevie Carden failed to identify the driver of a vehicle to police.

The 38-year-old was required to tell officers who the driver of a BMW, who was alleged to have committed an offence, was.

In January this year he failed to do so.

Following this the man from Church Road, Doffcocker,  was fined £120 and given six points on his licence.

Nathan Marlane drove a Volkswagen Golf on the M62 between Junction 11 and 12 in Irlam with no licence or insurance in May this year.

Gareth Pass drove a Ford Focus on Manchester Road in the centre of Bolton earlier this month whilst disqualified without insurance.

Following this Pass, from Paulhan Street, Great Lever, Bolton, was jailed for 24 weeks.

He was also banned from the roads for 26 months.
