A WEST Barns man has been placed on a supervision order after he threw a brick through a local pub window.

Ross Laing damaged property belonging to another by launching the brick through the window of The Brig & Barrel, Belhaven, on December 16 last year.

Laing, of Forth View, pleaded guilty to the vandalism charge when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court last Wednesday.

Sheriff Gillian Sharp placed the 51-year-old on a social work supervision order for the next nine months as punishment for the vandalism offence.
