In a recent case that has shocked the local community of Ripon, Dilan Anwar, a 20-year-old resident of North Road, was handed down a community order following his conviction for creating indecent images of children.The incident, which took place in June 2021, came to light after police officers executed a search warrant at Anwar's residence, where they confiscated multiple electronic devices, including an iPhone.
During the investigation, authorities discovered a disturbing collection of images stored on Anwar's devices.

This order requires him to complete 200 hours of unpaid work, emphasizing the judicial system's approach to punishing such offenses while also aiming for rehabilitation.
The case has garnered significant attention in Ripon, raising concerns about the safety and protection of children in the community.
