Duo admit assault

TWO men have admitted to an assault and robbery in Dundee.

HMP Perth inmates Callum Ogilvie and Eric Stewart assaulted John Farquhar on Reform Street on August 26.

Both Ogilvie, 38, and 42-year-old Stewart threatened Mr Farquhar and repeatedly blocked his path, preventing him from leaving. Ogilvie then seized him by the throat and the body before robbing him of a mobile phone.

Sheriff George Way noted Stewart had a criminal record “the size of a telephone directory”.

Ogilvie also pled guilty to possessing heroin at the time. Both men are due for sentencing on May 17.
