Asbo breach after furniture moved around

A NOISY neighbour has admitted breaching her Asbo by rearranging furniture in the middle of the night.

Sonia Menzies, 25, was hit with an antisocial behaviour order in August, part of which meant she was to keep the noise at her Edinburgh flat down.

But she was arrested in the early hours of Wednesday morning after a fed-up resident in the flat below complained about sound of furniture being pushed around.

She had been woken by the noise just after midnight, and said it was so bad she was forced to leave the house, taking her dog for a walk to get some peace.

When she returned, there was still a lot of noise from the flat.

She called the police, who arrested Menzies and when she appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court yesterday, she pleaded guilty to a breach of her Asbo.

Her lawyer, Sandra Walker, admitted it had been "unusual behaviour".

Sheriff Alistair Noble said: "This seems to be a lack of consideration for your neighbours."

She was released on bail and will be sentenced later this month.
