Out-of-control teen went on the rampage leaving a trail of damage

Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Wednesday, July 6, how Curtis Pass, 18, of Brindley Court, Killamarsh, took his mother’s car without permission and after it was discovered burned out by police he returned to her home and damaged a door, a gate, a shed and her new car.

Prosecuting solicitor Sarah Haslam said: “The defendant’s mother had asked her son to leave the family home after issues and he had found somewhere to live but after he was served an eviction notice he moved back in with his mum for a couple of nights.

“His mum got a knock on the door and South Yorkshire police said they had found her car partially burned out.”

The court heard how Pass returned to his mother’s home after taking the car and she locked him out as he was throwing plant pots about and damaged a PVC door.

Pass told police he had taken the car on June 16 while had felt down and he did not have a licence or insurance and he had driven to Crystal Peaks before crashing it into a verge after it had been blowing smoke.

Ms Haslam added that Pass returned to his mum’s days later on July 3 demanding money and hammering and banging at the door and throwing a wheelie bin before leaving.
