BREACHING his community order for a second time landed Ely teenager Mark Gillett with an extra 40 hours of unpaid community work this week.
Originally, Gillett was given an 18-month supervision order for offences of affray and possessing a weapon.
But back in February the order had 40-hours of unpaid work added, because Gillett had admitted missing an appointment.
On Thursday, 19-year-old Gillett admitted missing further appointments, on February 14, 18, and 21.
