An Exmouth man has been sentenced to 17 months in prison for two counts of assault.

Earlier in the year Exmouth Police investigated a series of assaults in the town centre. Including an incident where a man was punched through the window of his car while waiting at a junction.

Last week one of the offenders was sentenced to 17 months in prison for two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

As well as the victims, a number of other witnesses provided evidence to the police which helped to secure the conviction.
