A MACMERRY man has been fined after he breached a home curfew bail order on several occasions.

Kenneth Rudkin was placed on bail with the condition he stay within his home between the hours of 7pm and 7am each night when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on January 29.

Rudkin, of Greenmill Brae, disregarded the strict conditions when he was found to be outside between the required hours on May 27 and also between June 12 and 18.

The 30-year-old also repeatedly breached the order by being outside his home on occasions between July 15 and 19, and again between July 24 and 27.

Rudkin admitted all the bail order breaches when he appeared at the Capital court last Friday.

Sheriff Frank Gill fined Rudkin £570 across all five charges.
