MATTHEW James Warren has been ordered to pay compensation after forcing his way into a Winchester house.

Warren, 38, of Octavia Hill, Stanmore, admitted using violence on September 9 to gain entry to a property on Octavia Hill knowing there was someone inside opposed to his entry.

Magistrates in Basingstoke imposed a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered he pay £250 compensation.

There was no order for costs or a victim surcharge because of his lack of means.
