A number of people from Bury have been dealt with by magistrates recently.

The case against Issawi, of Parr Lane, Bury, was proved in his absence at Birmingham Magistrates' Court.

Following this he was given eight points on his licence and fined £660.

Jessica Wickstead carried out racially aggravated harassment in Bury in October this year.

The offence was within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused distress.

The 20-year-old admitted the offence at Manchester and Salford Magistrates Court.

Wickstead, of Knight Street Bury, was fined £133.

Her guilty plea was taken into account but the court increased the fine to reflect the fact that it was racially aggravated.
