A Llandudno businessman accused of threatening two brothers who run a kebab house and off-licence was jailed for 20 weeks yesterday (Thursday).

Steven Dickens, 52, of Mostyn Avenue, Llandudno, was told by district judge Gwyn Jones when he appeared at the town’s court on a video link from jail :"This was an extremely unpleasant incident where you attended the store. There was a history with regard to the ownership of the store and you obviously knew that."

Prosecutor Diane Williams said Dickens – referring to their off-licence - asked the victims, originally from Iraq :"When am I having my shop back?"

Dickens also allegedly asked :"Do you know who I am?"

He warned, the prosecution said, that he would burn their family in their home.

Lois Cullen, defending, said Dickens finished work and went for something to eat. He was "having a joke" and claimed to have been called a derogatory term.

"He says this is a silly argument. He says there's no further ill feeling," she added.
Dickens pleaded guilty to threatening behaviour.
