A Gloucestershire man has been banned from his neighbourhood after admitting a string of offences including burglary.

Stuart Walford, 23, of Little Herberts Road in Charlton Kings, near Cheltenham, has been served with an anti-social behaviour order (Asbo) by Cheltenham Magistrates' court.

It means he is not allowed back into the Charlton Kings area for five years - and can only visit his mother there by arrangement.

Walford pleaded guilty to two charges of burglary, one of stealing a Land Rover, one of assault causing actual bodily harm, and another of affray.

He asked for other offences to be taken into consideration and will be sentenced at a later date.

The terms of the Asbo - a civil action served at the end of criminal proceedings - also say Walford cannot attack or threaten anyone, or tamper with cars, in the whole of Gloucestershire.

It is a criminal offence to breach these terms, which can lead to five years in prison or a fine.

The Asbo application was brought by Cheltenham Borough Council in partnership with the local police and is the fifth in the area.
