A TAUNTON boy has been hit with a £465 court bill for five offences he committed in the same month he turned 14.
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to committing all the crimes earlier this year when he appeared at Somerset Youth Court.
He was ordered to pay £250 compensation for stealing four electric mopeds valued at £3,000.
And he must pay a further £200 compensation for stealing another electric bike worth £1,200.
He also admitted twice trespassing at Quantock House, taking alcohol valued at £37.33 on each occasion. He was ordered to pay £15 compensation.
And he stole tools valued at £424.77 in a burglary in Wellsprings Road.
The youth was referred to the Somerset Youth Offender Panel for a six-month contract.
