“He has shown no willingness to change his offending behaviour and now has to abide by the terms and conditions of this Criminal Behaviour Order, which if breached could result in him going to prison.

“It should also serve as a reminder to others that police and partners will always take action against those who blight our neighbourhoods through their criminal actions.

“Anyone who is seen to be breaching the terms of a Criminal Behaviour Order can be reported by calling 101, or using the livechat facility on the West Yorkshire Police website.”

Coun Maureen Cummings, Wakefield Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities, Poverty and Health, said: “We are pleased the court has granted this Criminal Behaviour Order. We will take firm action against people who behave in a way that is unacceptable and anti-social.

“Our joint action with West Yorkshire Police demonstrates that we do not tolerate this behaviour, which has no place in our district.”
