THE justice system in the region continues to hand down sentences and we are there to report on those court proceedings.

In the past few days, the Daily Echo has provided coverage on the sentencing of a company prosecuted by trading standards, a residential burglar who was found asleep on the sofa by his victim and a man who committed a five-month crime spree across Bournemouth and Christchurch.

Criminal cases are continuing to be dealt with on a daily basis in our local courts at Poole Magistrates' Court and Bournemouth Crown Court, as well as serious cases at Winchester Crown Court.

We continue to attend hearings to provide detailed coverage on proceedings.

For a summary of what has been reported on recently in print and online, listen to the audio round-up below.
