A woman who was reported to police for drink-driving from a Narberth pub has been banned from the roads

A COURT has heard how a motorist was arrested by police officers following a call stating that she was drink-driving from the Ivy Bush in Narberth.

The call was made just after 10pm on February 22.

“The caller stated that Tanya Hanna was drinking-driving from the Ivy Bush in a Mercedes,” Crown Prosecutor Linda Baker told Haverfordwest magistrates this week.

When Hanna, 36, was apprehended by officers at Kiln Park Road, a roadside breath test proved positive while further tests at the police station showed she had 47 mcg of alcohol in her system, the legal limit being 35.

Hanna, who has no previous convictions, pleaded guilty to the drink-driving charge. She was represented in court by Michael Kelleher.

“It wasn’t the most pleasant situation when someone took umbrage with Tanya and phoned the police,” he said. “As a result, she has lost her job.

“She knows she’s let herself and her family down, because without a driving licence, it’ll be very difficult for her to keep in regular contact with them, having to rely on public transport.”

Hanna, of Beach Hotel, Marsh Road, Pendine, was disqualified from driving for 14 months. She was fined £120 and ordered to pay £85 court costs and a £48 surcharge.

A MILFORD HAVEN motorist has been banned from the roads after being caught driving on Cleddau Bridge when he was over the drink-drive limit.

Andrew Evans, 36, was stopped by officers just before 1am on February 25 as he drove his Nissan Qashqai northwards towards Neyland.

After providing a positive roadside breath test, subsequent tests carried out at the police station showed he had 42 mcg of alcohol in his system, the legal limit being 35.

This week Evans, of Great North Road, Milford Haven, pleaded guilty to the offence when he appeared before Haverfordwest magistrates. He was represented in court by solicitor Michael Kelleher.

“He believed he’d allowed enough time for the alcohol to pass through his system but that, unfortunately for him, was a dreadful mistake although his alcohol levels were decreasing all the time,” said Mr Kelleher.

Evans, who has no previous convictions, was disqualified from driving for 13 months. He was fined £461 and ordered to pay a £184 court surcharge and £85 costs.

A Pembroke woman breached a court order by entering a pharmacy and stealing items including a pregnancy test

A COURT has heard how a Pembrokeshire woman stole shampoo and a pregnancy test from her local pharmacy despite a court order preventing her from entering the premises.

Natalie Lintern, 36, was seen entering the Mendus Pharmacy, Pembroke, on October 9, 2025, despite being banned from the premises following a previous shoplifting conviction. However CCTV footage showed her leaving the pharmacy carrying £40.39 worth of items, which included shampoo, curl cream and a Clearblue pregnancy test. None of the items were recovered.

This week Lintern appeared before Haverfordwest magistrates via a video link from HM Swansea Prison where she was remanded following her failure to attend a previous magistrates court hearing on March 10 .

The court was told that the latest offence was committed three months after Lintern, of Laugharne Close, Pembroke,was given a suspended court sentence for a previous shoplifting offence. This week she pleaded guilty to theft and was represented in court by Andrew Isaac.

“It’s clear there has been a problem with drug abuse and she was going through a rather tumultuous period at the time of this offence,” Mr Isaac told the court. “But there has been no re-offending since this offence was committed and she thoroughly regrets what she did.”

Lintern was fined £40 and ordered to pay £40.39 compensation to Mendus Pharmacy, £85 court costs and a £16 surcharge. Her existing suspended sentence will continue, however its duration has been lifted from 12 months to 18 months.
