Man fined for ignoring Mandurah Forum ban

Rachel FennerMandurah Coastal Times

A MAN received fines for entering Kmart and in the process ignoring an order banning him indefinitely from Mandurah Forum.

In Mandurah Magistrates Court, James Patrick Moss pleaded guilty to trespassing without a lawful excuse.

Moss received a banning notice from Forum management earlier this year, after he destroyed property within the shopping centre.

The banning notice could only be lifted at the Forum management’s discretion.
