A MAN who caused a scene at his girlfriend's ex-partner's home appeared in court after shouting abuse.

Burnley magistrates heard Alistair Scott, 49, was said to have been lured to the man's house for a confrontation.

The defendant, of Pheasantford Street, admitted threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour. He was given a 12-month conditional discharge, with £50 costs.

Nick Dearing, defending, said Scott was lured there for a confrontation.
