A man clambered onto the roof of a tenement flat and hurled a glass bottle to the ground as members of the public walked by.
Lee Munro, 22, appeared in the dock at Aberdeen Sheriff Court and admitted to acting culpably and recklessly alongside a group of youths, who were throwing objects from the flat and the roof.
Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard many of the items – such as the glass bottle thrown by Munro – smashed onto the street below.
Concerned for members of the public, Munro’s neighbours reported the behaviour to the police.
Bottle smashed on street
Fiscal depute Victoria Kerr told the court that at around 2.40pm July last year, a neighbour of Munro was within her home address when she became aware of a loud smash from the street outside.
She added: “The woman looked out of her home address and noted the accused within the locus and climbing onto the roof of the building.
“She proceeded to look outside and saw the accused throw various items from the window and the roof of the building onto the street outside.
“She observed the accused throw a glass bottle, which landed and smashed onto the road of Jamaica Street, Aberdeen.
“Another neighbour was sitting in his garden when he overheard the glass smashing – she thereafter contacted the police.”
‘Utter disregard for consequences’
Munro pleaded guilty to acting with an “utter disregard for consequences” by throwing objects and glass from a two-storey building to the street below to the danger of the public.
Defence agent Lynne Bentley called for background reports to be carried out on her client.
Sheriff Margaret Hodge deferred sentence on Munro, now of Lewis Road, Aberdeen, in order for a criminal justice social work report to be carried out.
