To be found guilty of criminal damage it has to be shown that damage was caused either intentionally or recklessly yet the vast majority of damage that is caused is neither intentional or reckless but accidental. It is important therefore that the facts are established correctly because unless you have caused the damage deliberately or recklessly you cannot be found guilty. Criminal damage is a common offence that we deal with on a regular basis and if you are faced with the prospect of being interviewed or appearing before the court for an offence of criminal damage you should contact us.
