THE sentencing of a man from Heybridge who admitted a string of offences has been adjourned.

Clint Walton, 18, of Mercury Place, Heybridge, admitted stealing a car, driving under the influence of alcohol and causing grievous bodily harm to a woman in April last year.

He was due to be sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court on Thursday.

But Recorder Richard Gordon QC adjourned the case until next month because no pre-sentence report had been prepared
