Four people have been banned from pubs in Caerphilly town over their bad behaviour.
The two men and two women, who have not been named, were banned under the town’s Pubwatch scheme for their bad behaviour last month.
• A 29 year old woman from Caerphilly was banned for two years following an assault at the Irish Tymes.
• A 21 year old woman from Caerphilly was banned for two years for an assault in the Irish Tymes.
• A 30 year old man from Caerphilly has been banned for five years following an assault on a member of door staff at the Irish Tymes.
• A 27 year old man from Caerphilly has been banned for two years following the theft of a charity box from the Malcolm Uphill.
The PubWatch Online scheme allows pub landlords to speak directly with each other and to Gwent Police.
PC Adam Lang, Caerphilly’s Night Time Economy Officer, said: “Many of the popular pubs in Caerphilly are currently signed up to PubWatch and if you misbehave in one, your information will be shared with Gwent Police and other pubs and you could receive a ban varying from one month to life.
“Behaviour like this will not be tolerated in these pubs, and people who act in this manner will be punished for their actions. This week we have now seen another four people banned for their behaviour – and with more pubs joining the scheme this month, I want to remind people that if you go out drinking this summer, please act responsibly.”
Dannie Stephens, Chair of the Caerphilly PubWatch and Manager at The Malcolm Uphill added: “Being part of Pub Watch we are acting together as licensees in Caerphilly to improve the night time economy experience for everyone.
“We want these bans to send a clear message that we will not tolerate violent behaviour in anyway.”
• Gwent Police has confirmed that following the theft of a charity box from The Malcolm Uphill pub on March 27, a 27-year old-man from the Abertridwr area was arrested and cautioned by officers.

I thought that, theft, or alleged theft, always resulted in a court appearance? I am wrong,now it seems that people can steal from charity and just get told they are ‘a very naughty boy .’
The good news is that I hear this ridiculous caution system is going to be dispensed with in future and that a wrongdoer will have to make some form of restoration.

Come on then, name him. Who was he that nicked the charity box?
