Bernard Dorrian, 41, damaged 14 of the machines in a three-hour period in west Belfast.
A man who smashed 14 Glider ticket machines as he travelled across west Belfast on the service has been given a suspended sentence.Belfast Magistrates' Court was told the 41-year-old, of Aspen Walk in Dunmurry, was seen travelling from stop to stop damaging each machine before getting back onto the Glider.
The total cost of repairing the machines attacked over a three-hour period in west Belfast was nearly £4,000.Stops at the Children’s Hospital, Twin Spires, Beechmount, Casement, Upper Dunmurry and Clonard were among those attacked.A prosecution lawyer said CCTV footage from 12 stops showed Dorrian using a "hand-held implement" and "on one occasion he was seen punching a machine with his fist”.
He said Dorrian had also been dealing with the break-up of a relationship and was ashamed of what he'd done.But based on the defendant’s medical issues and eventual guilty plea, he decided not to send him to prison.He warned Dorrian: “If there’s anything like this you will be going into jail for a long period of time.”
