A MAN from Wickford who damaged a train has been issued with an £80 Penalty Notice for Disorder.
The 22-year-old removed an overhead lighting tube from the train and threw it across a carriage in November last year.
Lucy Jones, a British Transport Police spokeperson said: "Following the incident, we issued a public appeal through local media to try and gather more information and to identify the person responsible.
"Numerous members of the public contacted us with information following the appeal, resulting in us identifying a 22-year-old man in connection with the incident.
"The man, from Wickford, was interviewed and subsequently issued with a £80 Penalty Notice for Disorder for causing criminal damage.
"I would like to pass my thanks to the media, and the members of the public who got in touch, for their assistance in this case, which helped us to identify and deal with the person responsible."
