Grantham court:
Lithuanian interpreter booked for Latvian defendants
The
case of two Latvian nationals accused of possessing a stun gun in Grantham has
been adjourned for the third time because the wrong interpreter was booked.
After
having their case rescheduled twice before due to lack of paperwork,
co-defendants Arturs Aboltins, 23, of Ravendale Close, Grantham, and 24-year-old
Matiss Petrovs of Harlaxton Road, Grantham, arrived at court to find that a
Lithuanian interpreter had mistakenly been arranged to translate court
proceedings.
They
are each charged with one count of possessing a weapon designed for the
discharge of an electrical incapacitant without the authority of the Secretary
of State, dated on November 17 at Dysart Road, Grantham, and are yet to enter
pleas.
As
the pair are both returning to Latvia for a month, the case has now been
rearranged again for February 23, with the co-defendants on unconditional bail.
