14-year-old boy banned from entering Kidderminster for three years
The teenager was given a criminal behaviour order by Worcester Magistrates' Court
A teenager has been given a criminal behaviour order by Worcester Magistrates’ Court.
The 14-year-old boy received the CBO after causing a significant amount of distress and harassment to local businesses, members of the public and the wider community.
His behaviour included numerous reports of anti-social behaviour, threatening behaviour and online abuse.
The order was made on Thursday 19 May and lasts for three years.
It prevents the teenager from entering Kidderminster, except to attend court, a police station or his solicitor, and associate in public with certain people.
He is also banned from being in a group of more than three people in public, outside his immediate family.
Restrictions were also placed on his behaviour and communications.
Should he breach the order, he could face a fine or a prison sentence.
Sergeant Daniel Townsend from the North Worcestershire Problem Solving Hub said: "This order will hopefully prevent him from acting in this manner in the future.
"I hope the CBO provides reassurance to the local community that the police will take positive action in these situations."
