This is who has been dealt with at Bristol Magistrates' Court

The first week of June saw a range of criminals dealt with at Bristol Magistrates' Court, from thieves and drink-drivers to domestic abusers.

Every week, Bristol Live reports from the city's courts, with our reporting playing an important part of the UK's open justice system - that justice can be seen to be done.

As well as covering individual cases, we print the weekly results from Bristol Magistrates' Court.

Some of the key benefits of open justice include ensuring public confidence and respect in democracy and the administration of justice, as well as deterring people from committing crimes and thereby the details of those crimes becoming public knowledge.

Here are the criminals who have been sentenced from June 1 to June 6, 2020.

Victims' names have been withheld - you can read more about why we publish defendants' names and addresses here.
