Behind bars: Criminals locked up in Lincolnshire in July

A “dangerous” man found guilty of multiple sexual offences including rape, a man convicted of sexual charges against two victims, and another male who shot at a police officer were among those put behind bars in July.

There were also two notable cases close to the border in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, including a young man who started a fire in care accommodation. There was also a case in Cumbria involving a Lincolnshire driver who was jailed for two years.
