These are the people from the local area, or who committed crimes in the local area, who appeared at Swansea Crown Court this week.

The crown court is a higher tier of the UK judicial system than the magistrates court, it tends to deal with more serious crimes and has the power to hand down more stringent sentences.

On Tuesday Dylan Poupard, of Sunningdale Drive, Milford Haven, appeared before the court to admit breaching a community order.

Judge, Mr Recorder Simon Hughes, actually asked Poupard what he thought his sentence should be, before handing down a fine and giving him more time to complete the order.
