A teenager has been told to pay out compensation after admitting attacking two police officers in Ipswich.

Caitlin Dobrucki appeared before Suffolk Magistrates' Court in Ipswich having been charged with two counts of assault by beating of an emergency worker.

The 19-year-old was charged in relation to assaults on two different police officers on July 2 last year.

Dobrucki, who is of Gippeswyk Road in the Suffolk town, pleaded guilty to both offences.

She was handed a conditional discharge of six months, meaning no further punishment will be imposed provided the defendant commits no further offences during this period.

The length of the conditional discharge was uplifted from three months to six due to the attacks being on emergency workers.

The defendant was also instructed by magistrates to pay compensation of £25, a court listing said.

Dobrucki's guilty plea was taken into account by magistrates when they considered the sentence she was handed, a court listing said.
