AN ISLE of Wight motorist who took and drove a Range Rover when he didn’t even have a licence has been sentenced.
The case of John Ward, of Lower Furlongs, Brading, was heard before Walsall magistrates on July 25.
The 43-year-old had initially denied, but went on to admit, taking a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent, in Walsall, on June 23 last year.
At a previous hearing in July last year, he also admitted driving without a licence and driving without insurance, on the same date.

The court heard Ward took a Range Rover Evoque without the consent of its owner and was caught driving on Pleck Road.
He was made subject of a 12-month community order, to include 120 hours of unpaid work, and his driving record was endorsed with six penalty points.
He was ordered to pay costs of £350 and a £114 surcharge.
