POLICE have issued a missing persons appeal for Gareth Howlett

He’s described as white, 5ft 6in, slim build, with ginger/brown hair, and has tattoos of a sword on his forearm and Man Utd on the back of his neck.

He was last seen in the area of Withybush Hospital between 1.30pm and 2pm, with a further possible sighting at 3pm in Dew Street.

UPDATE 23.05.21:

Police said on Sunday: “We are still appealing for information to help find Gareth Howlett, from Haverfordwest.

“He was captured on CCTV cameras leaving Withybush Hospital at around 1pm yesterday, and was wearing a dark hoody with white arms and a white panel across the shoulders, dark khaki trousers with a cream stripe down each leg, and dark trainers.

“His hair is now longer than the photo we have been supplied with, and his skin appears to be very pale.

“Cameras show that he walked past the hospital’s Bro Cerwen entrance, but it is believed he veered off the main road before reaching the Fishguard Road roundabout.

“An extensive search is underway, led by a police search adviser with support from response and neighbourhood policing officers, as well as the NPAS helicopter and mountain rescue teams.

“Concern is increasing as Gareth suffers with epilepsy and has not taken his medication.”

Pembroke motorist fined after missing drug assessment

Published

on

A 27-year-old man told magistrates the appointment had “completely gone out of my mind”

A PEMBROKE motorist has been fined after failing to attend an initial drug assessment following a positive test for a class A drug.

Bradley Bostock, 27, was told to attend the assessment centre in Haverfordwest on December 16, 2025, but failed to do so.

His non-attendance led to his appearance before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (Jun 23), where he pleaded guilty.

“In all honesty, it completely went out of my mind,” Bostock told the bench.

“I didn’t get out of the cell until three o’clock in the morning, and there was so much going on, I simply forgot. But I’m more than willing to go.”

Bostock, of Corston Cottages, Axton Hill, Pembroke, was fined £80 and ordered to pay £85 court costs and a £32 surcharge.

Milford man threatened to smash parents’ windows, court hears

Published

on

A MILFORD HAVEN man who repeatedly asked his parents for alcohol and money has admitted threatening to damage their home.

Christopher Sizer, 38, threatened to smash windows and kick in doors at his parents’ property in Shakespeare Avenue, Milford Haven, on March 3.

Haverfordwest magistrates heard there had been long-standing issues between Sizer and his parents.

“There have been long-standing issues between the defendant and his parents, and he’s constantly asking them for money,” said Crown Prosecutor Sian Vaughan.

“If they don’t give it, then he makes threats. But this is impacting them significantly. It just can’t go on.”

Ms Vaughan said Sizer had arrived at the property initially asking for alcohol.

“He had friends with him and then asked them for pizza, but this was a drain on their finances,” she said.

“It was at this point that he threatened to damage their property with a hammer that was readily available, and naturally they were concerned about that.”

The court was told Sizer’s mother had provided a victim impact statement, saying she and her husband could no longer cope with his behaviour.

“If we don’t give him what he wants, he threatens to kill himself, and if we have a night away he’ll phone me constantly, asking for money,” she said.

“My husband has had to get a night job to get extra money and we’ve also had to take out a loan. We can’t cope with his behaviour any more.”

Sizer, of Precelly Place, Milford Haven, pleaded guilty to making threats to damage or destroy property.

Magistrates requested a pre-sentence report from the probation service before sentencing and adjourned the case until July 14.

Sizer was released on conditional bail. He must not enter his parents’ property in Shakespeare Avenue, must not enter the Ty Hotel in Milford Haven, and must not contact his parents by any means, either directly or indirectly.

Argument outside Tenby hotel ends in conditional discharge

Published

on

A MARRIED woman who threw her shoes and a flower pot at her husband during an argument outside a Tenby hotel has been given a conditional discharge.

Haverfordwest magistrates heard that Kerry Mayne, 35, had been out for a meal with family friends on May 9 and had drunk wine before meeting her husband, Ryan Mayne, outside the Tenby House Hotel.

Her solicitor, Aled Owen, said Mr Mayne had also been drinking after a night out in Saundersfoot.

Mr Owen told the court that Mr Mayne runs a security firm involved in training door staff and recognised two men working on the door at the premises.

“He recognised two men who were on duty at the pub as people he had trained,” said Mr Owen.

“This was when he grabbed the defendant from behind and told them to take her out because she was too drunk.

“Maybe this was his way of showing off to his past pupils who were at the door.”

Prosecutor Sian Vaughan said Mayne then “saw red”.

“She took offence at what he’d done and took her shoes off to throw them at her husband, but fortunately they did not make contact,” she said.

“She then reached up to a pot of flowers that had been placed on the windowsill and threw them at Ryan Mayne.”

Mayne, of Trem y Coleg, Carmarthen, pleaded guilty to assault by beating and causing £35 worth of criminal damage to a plant pot owned by the Tenby House Hotel.

After viewing CCTV footage of the incident, magistrates sentenced her to a 12-month conditional discharge.

She must also pay £85 prosecution costs and a £26 surcharge.
