A CROOK biting a cop, a man relieving himself in public, and a host of speeding drivers - these are the magistrates cases in Essex this week. Justice has continued to be handed down to criminals in the lower courts this week, and a real variety of crimes have been heard. Here is a rundown of all the major cases heard at Basildon and Southend Magistrates Courts this week.
Jane Aldham, 56, of St. Johns Close, Laindon, was clocked running a red light in Basildon on February 2 this year when driving her Mini One car on Broadmayne. The offence happened at 9.30am and Aldham was found to have gone through the red light 29 seconds after it turned red.
