A PEMBROKE DOCK man has appeared before magistrates facing a string of assault, harassment and vehicle-related offences committed over several months.

Tony Brundrett, aged 21, of no fixed abode, appeared at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court in connection with nine separate offences dating between May and December 2025.

The court heard that Brundrett admitted a number of violent and non-violent offences, including three counts of assault by beating, harassment without violence, criminal damage, and a series of motoring offences.

Assault and harassment offences

Brundrett pleaded guilty to assault by beating committed on May 21, October 30, and December 9 last year.

He also admitted harassment without violence, contrary to the Protection from Harassment Act, relating to behaviour on September 17.

In addition, the court was told that Brundrett carried out criminal damage to property valued under £500 on November 16.

Vehicle-related offences

Magistrates also dealt with a cluster of motoring offences arising from incidents on November 16, including:

Aggravated vehicle taking as the initial taker
Driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence
Using a motor vehicle without insurance

The offences were considered together due to their close timing and circumstances.

Court outcome

The court imposed a suspended sentence order in relation to several of the offences, reflecting the seriousness of the violence involved while stopping short of immediate custody.

Brundrett was also ordered to pay costs to the Crown Prosecution Service, with the court taking into account his guilty pleas when determining sentence.

All matters were dealt with at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (Dec 31).

Man accused of multiple breaches of Sexual Harm Prevention Order after hearing at Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court

A SEX offender has been remanded in custody after appearing in court accused of breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order on seven separate occasions.

Stewart Alderton, aged 44, currently of HMP & YOI Parc, Bridgend, appeared before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (Mar 31).

The charges allege that Alderton breached a Sexual Harm Prevention Order imposed at Mold Crown Court on November 17, 2021.

It is alleged that at an address in Wylcwm Close, Knighton, on June 18, 2025, and again on December 14, 2025, he deleted TikTok chat strings, phone applications, web artefacts and web history, and also carried out a factory reset on a device, all said to be contrary to the terms of the order.

A further allegation states that on February 16, 2026, at Bronglais Hospital, he failed to notify police of an internet-enabled device within the required three days.

No pleas were entered.

The case was adjourned for a plea hearing at Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court at 2:00pm on Wednesday (Apr 1).

Alderton was remanded in custody.

Defendant given a suspended prison sentence after magistrates heard the offence was serious enough to cross the custody threshold

KRISTIAN DAVIES, aged 35, of Rock Cottages, Neyland, pleaded guilty at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court to aggravated vehicle taking.

The court heard that on January 26, 2026, at Narberth, Davies took a Ford Focus without the consent of the owner or other lawful authority. The vehicle was damaged before it was recovered, with the damage assessed at less than £5,000.

Magistrates sentenced Davies on Tuesday (Mar 31) to 18 weeks’ imprisonment, suspended for 18 months.

The bench said the offence was so serious that only a custodial sentence could be justified, citing Davies’ relevant previous convictions and the fact he was already subject to a court order at the time, which he is now in breach of.

However, the prison term was suspended because the court found there were real prospects of rehabilitation in the community.

Davies was also made subject to an 18-month supervision requirement, a non-residential drug rehabilitation requirement with reviews, and up to 15 days of rehabilitation activity.

As part of the order, he must engage with Dyfed Drug and Alcohol Service and provide samples for a 12-month period.

He was also banned from driving for 24 months.

The first review hearing is due to take place at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on April 27 at 10:00am. Bail conditions were cancelled as a matter of urgency.

A MAN was arrested after police stopped a car on Dimond Street, Pembroke Dock, on Saturday afternoon (Apr 4).

Witnesses said the incident happened at around 5:00pm outside Bargain Booze, when two police vehicles – one marked and one unmarked – pulled over a motorist.

According to one bystander, officers searched the boot of the vehicle and arrested the man straight afterwards.

The same witness said what was suspected to be Class A drugs were found, although that detail has not been confirmed by police.

The man was taken away in a police car, while an officer drove the suspect’s vehicle from the scene.

The Herald has contacted Dyfed-Powys Police for comment.
