Tycoon who used shotgun to silence neighbour's burglar alarm is spared jail after judge calls him 'exceptional man' | Mail Online

When his neighbours’ burglar alarm would not stop ringing, Peter Shalson took matters into his own hands.

Unfortunately, he also took a shotgun.
Yesterday the multi-millionaire spoke of his ‘immense relief’ as he was spared jail for blasting the alarm box with two shots and then breaking into the house and tearing the system from the wall.

Keen game shooter Shalson, who is said to be worth around £175million after selling his coathanger and packaging business, was sentenced to 200 hours of community service at Southwark Crown Court for breaking into the home of Norman and Cindy Dawood after their alarm would not stop ringing.
