A 25-year-old from Twickenham has been jailed after failing to attend court when he was charged with a racially aggravated offence.

The police posted:

Luke Diprose. DoB 05/03/1995 of Twickenham has been sentenced for failing to appear at court for a racially aggravated public order offence.

He was sentenced to 16 weeks imprisonment.

This comes after Neighbourhood PCs Reddick, Sullivan and Holcroft were made aware by an eagle eyed off-duty reception[ist] who spotted Diprose and then promptly arrested him.

Even better, he was only circulated two days ago!
