A Middlesbrough man’s appalling criminal record surprised even Teesside’s most senior judge yesterday.
Jasvinder Grewal’s list of previous convictions filled 46 pages and covered dishonesty, drugs and motoring offences.
They began when the 42-year-old was 15 in 1987, and now he was back in the dock with his live-in girlfriend.
Grewal and Victoria McLaren, 32, pleaded guilty at Teesside Crown Court to doing acts tending to pervert the course of criminal justice on 27 November 2013 by reporting to the police that they had been verbally abused and assaulted by Kevin James Mount.
Their lawyer Scott Taylor said that they were both employed and that a pre-sentence report might assist with background to the current offence.
He said that they had both been on bail and they had turned up at court in good time for the various hearings of their case.
The Recorder of Middlesbrough Judge Simon Bourne-Arton QC, who remarked on Grewal’s 46 pages and queried how reports would assist him, renewed their bails until March 26 for pre-sentence reports before sentencing them.
The couple, of Aubrey Street, Middlesbrough, were ordered to remain at their address and to report to Middlesbrough Central police station three days a week.
