Two teenagers who were found to have breached previously imposed anti-social behaviour injunction, appeared in court yesterday (18 October).
On 15 September officers from the Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) in Eden, in conjunction with Cumbria Police’s legal services team, successfully applied for anti-social behaviour injunctions against four teenagers who were identified as being involved in a significant number of incidents of crime and disorder in Penrith over the previous year.
One of the conditions of the injunctions prevented the teens from entering four specified exclusion zones in Penrith. Two of the teens, both aged 17, were found to have breached these conditions by entering one of the zones and, as a result, were arrested on 18 October by Eden NPT officers.
At Carlisle Magistrates’ court yesterday, the teenagers were given a four-month supervision order for breaching the terms of the injunction on 16 October 2023.
This breach comes only days after both had appeared in court for a previous breach, whereby the terms and prohibitions of the injunction were further re-affirmed to them.
Eden Neighbourhood Policing Team Inspector Mo Bibby said: “Officers in Eden’s NPT are committed to tackling anti-social behaviour in our communities.
“Yesterday’s result shows that we will utilise all legal tools available to Cumbria Constabulary to protect our communities from this persistent behaviour.
“We will not tolerate breaches of orders or conditions and we have contempt for the act of criminality, which has no place in our communities.”
