Farhad Hosnavi

Farhad Hosnavi, 27, appeared at Norwich Magistrates' Court on 1 June 2026, where he admitted to a charge of criminal damage. The court heard that Hosnavi caused damage to the entrance of a police station on Bethel Street in Norwich on 30 May 2026.

Prosecutor Sarah Fiddy noted that the offence was aggravated by the fact that Hosnavi was on licence at the time and had an extensive record of similar behaviour. His defence counsel stated that the offender was frustrated by issues regarding his accommodation status.

Magistrates sentenced Hosnavi to eight weeks in prison. The court determined that a custodial sentence was necessary, overriding the presumption of a suspended sentence due to the risk he posed to the public.
