The District Court in Dobrich replaced the measure of "detention in custody" with "house arrest" for the 51-year-old Englishman, who slashed the tires of more than 60 cars on the eve of Christmas.

Before the appellate court, the British man's lawyer pointed out that he does not deny his authorship of the crime, but he has to take care of his 5-year-old daughter, who has autism, and his wife, who suffers from depression.

The possibility of compensation for the victims was also requested.

The experts' assessment of their final size is awaited.

It was pointed out that he had no other wrongdoings, on the contrary - for his 20 years of service in the Royal Navy of Great Britain, he was repeatedly awarded for good service.
