New operators revealed for threatened services

He was sentenced to an 18-month youth supervision order, a 10-day activity requirement and must adhere to a curfew between 9pm and 7am for the next three months.

He was also made subject of a 15-month Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) which states he must not engage in or encourage others to engage in threatening, abusive or insulting behaviour, either in person or via social media, amounting to anti-social behaviour (ASB).

He is also banned from associating with two named individuals.

PC Brady Slack, from the south Peterborough Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We have had many complaints about the boy’s behaviour which has been impacting the local community, as well as the burglary spree he carried out earlier this year.

“This order has been put in place to help prevent any further offences and support him in turning his life around to stay away from crime, however, for as long as he continues to cause a nuisance to the public and commit offences, we will put him before the courts.”

On Saturday (19 November), he was arrested in Lakeview Way, Hampton Hargate, after being found in the company of one of the named individuals on his CBO.

He was charged with breaching a Criminal Behaviour Order by engaging in ASB and associating with a named individual and appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on Monday where he had a further four days added to his activity requirement.
