‘Britain’s worst neighbour’ is jailed after tearing roof tiles from couple’s home in 7yr war over garden fence
A NEIGHBOUR from hell who tore the roof off an OAP couple’s home in a bitter seven-year war over a garden fence has been jailed.
Mark Coates, 57, smashed a hole through the roof of his semi-detached home before clambering out.
He then began tearing off the tiles and chimney pots off the £450,000 home before throwing them to the ground.
When he had largely destroyed his own roof he moved over to his neighbours’ home and began tearing the tiles from their home.
Neighbour Janice Turner, 66, called police but was left crying in the garden as she watched Coates start to demolish her home.
Video of the incident, captured by police, showed Coates armed with a hammer methodically smashing up the roof of both homes.
A two hour police stand-off ensued before Coates was finally arrested and taken into custody.
A jury heard that in just two hours Coates had caused more than £200,000 worth of damage to the homes in Robertsbridge, near Hastings.
Coates was found guilty of two counts of criminal damage on the properties after a trial at Lewes Crown Court but was cleared of harassment.
Residents living close to the victims said the dispute had had a massive effect on the whole community and branded Coates “one of the worst neighbours in Britain.”
Today, Recorder Ben Williams KC branded Coates a “human wrecking ball” as he sentenced Coates to four years and four months.
He said the destruction of the homes was a clear “revenge attack” on his neighbours and had had a “devastating” impact on them.
The court was told Miss Turner, 66, now suffers from an “anxiety response” every time she heard crockery smash.
She said the last seven years had been hugely stressful and she was so upset she could not sit in court for the sentencing.
Miss Turner added: “I was crying. I felt very, very frightened. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I was extremely distressed.”
While Mr Greenwood, a mechanic, said: “He was systematically and vindictively destroying the property.
“He cut a hole through the joists. He took the staircase out of his house. His aim was to destroy and diminish its value. It was calculating and spiteful.
“Tiles were being thrown everywhere, chimney pots were being smashed off. I was quite shocked. I’ve never seen someone destroying a house that way before.
“The whole situation was completely out of hand. It was just total, total destruction.”
The incident happened on June 10 last year and brought to an end the long-running dispute between the neighbours which started when a fence panel fell down.
When a new fence separating their two gardens was erected, the two neighbours disagreed over where the boundary was.
Lewes Crown Court heard that, after years of litigation, the case had eventually gone to the High Court.
The warring neighbours had been warned by High Court judge, Mr Justice Morgan, that persisting in the row could result in financial ruin for one or both of them before a ruling was made against Coates.
Coates, a father-of-five, was jailed, handed a £475,000 court bill and was ordered to sell his home to pay for the huge sum.
As a result his property was to be sold to reimburse the victims’ legal fees as well as to pay for the damage caused to their property.
But just three days before he was due to hand over the house keys, Coates decided to cause massive damage to the properties.
A video, captured from a police body-worn camera, shows officers trying to reason with Coates and coax him down from the roof.
But Coates told officers: “I’ve had this house stolen off me by a judge and corrupt police. I’ll cause as much damage as I can to devalue the house.”
Coates then clambered across the roof and began smashing tiles from neighbours’ adjoining home, throwing tiles down into their garden.
Miss Turner said: “He was smashing a hole from the inside of his attic space and cutting the batons and knocking the tiles off the roof.
“He was picking some of them up and throwing them into the garden and towards me. I was standing by my greenhouse and I felt debris from the roof go past my face.”
She said when the hole was big enough to climb through Coates clambered out onto the roof.
Miss Turner said: “He continued to remove everything from that roof and then breached the party wall area and completely removed the best part of the roof at the rear of my property.”
In the video, shown to the court, Coates told officers his aim was to cause as much damage as possible.
He said he wanted charges to be so serious he would get a trial by jury where he would be able to expose officials who had used “corruption and bias” to strip him of his home.
In mitigation Richard Body, defending, said Coates was a dedicated family man who had a previous good character.,
He said: “However he has an aspect of his character that is stubborn which is how he has got himself into this very unfortunate position.”
Coates. who was cleared of two counts of causing fear of violence or harassment, was handed an indefinite restraining order.

Brit, 28, arrested in Trump immigration crackdown after visa error as she’s ‘locked up in orange jumpsuit in US prison’
A BRITISH tourist’s dream trip has turned into a nightmare after a “visa mix-up” led to her being detained at the US border.
Becky Burke, 28, was detained ten days ago at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing centre in Washington state, according to her family.
Becky’s dad, Paul Burke, said she tried to cross the border into Canada but was denied entry due to an “incorrect visa”.
But when she tried to return to the US she was refused re-entry and treated like an “illegal alien”.
Her dad said he could not understand why she was “locked up and she’s in an orange prison jumpsuit while the paperwork gets sorted out.”
Paul said: “What was meant to be a life-changing four-month backpacking trip across North America has turned into a nightmare.”
Becky now finds herself in “horrendous” conditions.
Her dad said: “She is sharing a cell, surviving on a diet of cold rice, potatoes, and beans (she is vegan), and has limited access to phone calls.
“Visitors are restricted to speaking through a glass screen via telephone.
“All her possessions have been confiscated, and she feels isolated and desperate to come home.”
Becky’s family is not American which means they cannot add money to her inmate account for her to buy essentials, so they have had to reach out to some American friends to help.
The comic book artist from Wales was on a four-month backpacking trip across North America.
Becky shared photos and comic sketches about her travels to her Instagram account.
She posted reels of herself ice-skating in Manhattan’s Central Park, running across a beach and trekking through a pine forest
While travelling she got free accommodation in exchange for helping host families “around the house”.
Becky had flown from New York to Portland, Oregon, where she spent time with a host family.
At the end of February she travelled to Seattle and had planned to travel to Vancouver in Canada to stay with another family.
But, when she reached the border, Paul said she was denied entry because of fears she may try to work illegally.
He said he thought this may be because authorities suspected her accommodation arrangements broke the terms of her tourist visa.
Becky’s family is desperate for her to come home and has requested voluntary departure but it has been “radio silence”.
The family has been told voluntary departure has to be approved by a judge, but said that they do not know “how to make that happen”.
A spokesperson for the FCDO said: “We are supporting a British national detained in the USA and are in contact with the local authorities.”
But they wouldn’t give any further update as to wider US detentions of UK tourists.
Paul said he wanted to warn other travellers to be “very careful” about visa requirements.
Becky’s detention comes in the wake of Trump’s immigration crack down.
