A 15-year-old boy has been handed a Antisocial Behavior Order for his abusive behaviour.
Adam Clarke, of Brynteg, Penyrheol, was given a two year ASBO by Caerphilly Magistrates’ Court on Monday after a series of incidents in the Penyrheol and surrounding areas of Caerphilly.
Clarke displayed frequent abusive and nuisance behaviour towards residents and in the area over a period of nearly two years.
Despite numerous interventions as part of the Safer Caerphilly Community Safety Partnership’s ‘four-strikes’ process for tackling antisocial behaviour in Caerphilly County Borough, his behaviour continued.
He also signed an Acceptable Behaviour Contract (ABC) in November 2009.
The ASBO prevents Adam Clarke, anywhere within the Caerphilly County Borough area from:
Acting in a manner, which causes or is likely to cause nuisance, harassment, alarm or distress to any person in the Caerphilly County Borough Council area.
Swearing at, or threatening any person.
Damaging or interfering with any property not belonging to him.
Apart from his home address, not to enter the gardens of any other property without the express permission of an adult occupier.
Community safety manager Howard Rees said: “I hope that the gaining of this Antisocial Behaviour Order will send out a strong message to the small minority who are intent on behaving anti-socially that their behaviour will not be tolerated.”
PC Andy Hillier, crime and disorder reduction officer with Gwent Police, said: “We will continue to take action against any individuals who are having a negative affect on the local community. We are committed to tackling antisocial behaviour and working with our partners to seek Anti-Social Behaviour Orders from the courts where appropriate.”
