A MAN has been accused of doing almost £800 of damage to bollards in Basingstoke.

Paul Charles Lucas, of Headington Close in Brighton Hill, has been charged with criminal damage to the bollards, which belonged to Hampshire Highways.

The charge states that the bollards were valued at £783.02.

The case has been adjourned until September 23, so the prosecution can serve a postal requisition.

No plea has been entered at this stage.
