A NIGHT-TIME home curfew for the next 60 days has been placed on a Galashiels man at Selkirk Sheriff Court.

Thirty-five-year-old Shane Lawrence must stay in his Croft Street property between the hours of 9pm and 6am.

He had previously been convicted of a charge of threatening or abusive behaviour.

Sheriff Kevin McCarron said the sentence was an alternative to custody due to Lawrence’s record.
