Teenage yob given home-town ban
A TEENAGE yob, who tormented residents and turned their lives into a "misery", has been banned from a large part of his home town of Bulwell.
Adam Moore (17), of Hoefield Road, Crabtree Farm Estate, was slapped with a three-year Anti-Social Behaviour Order (ASBO) at Nottingham Magistrates Court.
The order restricts his freedom and even prevents him from wearing a balaclava, scarf or any other item of clothing designed to conceal his face.
But the main thrust of the ASBO is to ban Moore from the area bordered by Sellers Wood Drive, Hoewood Road, Rock Street, Ragdale Road, Main Street and Bulwell High Road to the junction with Sellers Wood Drive.
The only exception of access is a corridor along Ravensworth Road, which he is allowed to use.
If he breaches the order, Moore could be sent to prison for up to five years.
Sgt Phil Hogg, of Bulwell police, said: "Moore caused misery to the lives of those affected by his behaviour. He spared no thought to the consequences of his actions.
"The court has set some stringent rules within this ASBO to restrict Moore's actions and prevent him from causing a nuisance to those in the area.
"If he does anything to breach this order, he can be arrested as it is a criminal offence and carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison."
The order follows work by Nottingham's Anti-Social Behaviour Task Force, which includes Nottinghamshire police, Nottingham City Council anti-social behaviour officers and police community support officers.
Arlene Bull, an anti-social behaviour officer with the task force, said: "The teams have been established to work together to take action through the criminal and civil courts against people who commit this type of action.
"The local community deserves the right to go about their daily lives without the fear of being subjected to harassment, alarm or distress."
The ASBO also prevents Moore from threatening to behave in a way that causes or is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress or is likely to be abusive, threatening or insulting; using or threatening to use violence towards anyone; and damaging or threatening to damage property or encouraging others to do so.
