MAGISTRATES have ordered a man to do 180 hours of unpaid work after he was caught driving a vehicle but refused to provide police with a breath sample on Christmas Day 2020.

Nikolin Zveznta, aged 33, of Cawdor Street, Farnworth, was convicted of committing the offence and admitted failing to surrender to court.

In addition to the unpaid work, he was banned from driving for 29 months and ordered to pay £445 in costs and charges.
