A 23-year-old man has been barred from every pub and club in Sussex.

Kieran Britton was slapped with the six-month ban after he admitted drunkenly vandalising a car.

He was also given a night-time curfew and ordered to do unpaid community work at Brighton Crown Court yesterday.

On February 24, Britton kicked the wing mirrors off a car in Fountains Close, Eastbourne. He was drunk and with a group of people.

Judge Richard Hayward, sentencing, said they were “no doubt looking for trouble”.

At the time, Britton was serving a suspended sentence for a driving offence. His previous convictions include battery, criminal damage and breaching court orders.

Judge Hayward told him: “You have breached every community order or suspended sentence order which has been imposed upon you.”

Britton, of Woburn Way, Eastbourne, was sentenced to 12 months on probation.

He must stay indoors under a curfew between 9pm and 6am and has to carry out 180 hours of unpaid work.

He must also pay £150 in compensation to the owner of the vandalised car.
