A Town Centre security officer told police his phone had been taken by a man who attempted to break it, and then the man grabbed his security jacket.

When the suspect was arrested, officers discovered he was breaking a probation order to not be present in The Town Centre.

The man was charged and later released with a notice to appear in court June 9.
