Trial set for assault charge

Admonished from court

A Westwood man who clambered on to a first-floor veranda and demanded to get into a house appeared in the dock.

David Muir, of Rockhampton Avenue, previously admitted trying to get into a house in Whitehills Place uninvited on October 16, repeatedly banging and kicking a front door and demanding entry, climbing on to a first-floor veranda and continue to demand entry.

Muir, 28, was admonished and dismissed at Hamilton Sheriff Court. Accused of stealing

A 37-year-old man appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court accused of being in a car in Thorntonhall with the intention to steal it.

He went on to deny entering an insecure car on Peel Road in Thorntonhall on the same date and stealing a quantity of money. Trial was set for June 15 with an interim hearing planned for June 5.
