A Pembroke Dock man has been handed a community order after admitting making a series of obscene, indecent and menacing phone calls.

Thirty-nine-year-old Matthew Gilbert, of Water Street in Pembroke Dock appeared at Haverfordwest Magistrates Court this month, charged with sending by public communication network an offensive, indecent, obscene or menacing message, relating to calls he made on his mobile phone to a public landline between March 27 and April 5.

He was also ordered to pay £85 in costs.
