A boy who carried out a six-month reign of terror is believed to be one of the youngest people to be served with an anti-social behaviour order.

Lukon Straker, 11, from Wolverhampton, was banned for four years from nearly 80 streets in his home city.

Straker, of Old Fallings Crescent, Low Hill, appeared at the city's magistrates' court after an application by West Midlands Police and Wolverhampton City Council.

Police and the council had compiled a dossier of Straker's behaviour, which has seen him terrorise residents of the Low Hill area with his abusive behaviour and threats of violence.

The order states that he must not enter any of the named streets within the Low Hill area. A breach of the order can result in five years' imprisonment.

Superintendent Paddy Mulligan, of Wednesfield police, said: "This is a really positive message from the courts to show that we should not be in any position to accept anti-social behaviour from any individuals in Wolverhampton.

"By invoking an anti-social behaviour order on 11-year-old Lukon Straker for over four years, I feel that the impact for the community can only be beneficial."
