A West Cumbrian man has been jailed for driving while disqualified.

Leslie Hynd, 49, of Holborn Hill in Millom, appeared at the magistrates' court in Workington last week.

He admitted driving a Ford Fiesta on Lancashire Road in Millom on March 5 while disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving licence.

He also admitted driving without a valid insurance on the same day.

Hynd also admitted committing the same offences on March 23, when he drove on Newton Terrace, Millom.

He was handed a 120-day prison sentence.

In January Hynd had been handed a 56 day prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, for driving while disqualified in July of last year.

This sentence was activated, to run consecutively to the 120 days, to a total of 176.

He was handed a further one year ban and must undergo an extended test to drive again.
