'Talented' Ryan Gilhooly sentenced over graffiti
A teenager who admitted a string of graffiti charges has been ordered to carry out 240 hours of unpaid work by a sheriff who accepted he has "talent".
Ryan Gilhooly, 17, was given a community payback order over the offences carried out between February and June last year.
Glasgow Sherriff Court heard how Gilhooly "tagged" trains, a junction box at Garscadden train station, and a train station building.
He caused £2,400 worth of damage.
Gilhooly, from Knightswood, Glasgow, admitted six charges of "wilfully or recklessly destroying or damaging the property belonging to another", and a breach of bail for being in Glasgow Central Station after being given a condition not to go there.
His lawyer Martin McInnes said: "He does seem to have some talent."
Sheriff Margaret Liddell said: "Well yes, that's the thing. These are serious charges, he does show a talent."
