A 10-year-old boy has been made the subject of an anti-social behaviour order in Peterborough. The city council said on Friday it had obtained the order from magistrates after they accepted the boy had acted in a way which "caused or was likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress".
The latest order brings the total number obtained by the council to 15.
Christine Graham, community safety team leader, said anti-social behaviour was a major concern but was being tackled.
"We are pleased that the magistrates have once again supported our efforts to tackle anti-social behaviour in the city," she said.
Police information
"Anti-social behaviour is a major concern for local residents and is totally unacceptable."
The council said they had taken out the order based on information they received from local residents and the police.
The order will last for two years and includes a curfew, a ban on the child acting in a manner which causes or is likely to cause harassment and from using offensive, threatening or abusive language to other people.
It also prohibits the 10-year-old from driving cars or riding motorcycles, vandalising property and from going within 50 metres of some shops, a school and youth centre.
