A Shropshire teenager has been handed a criminal behaviour order for terrorising shop workers and customers in his home town.
Archie Kettle, 18, of Tilstock, Whitchurch, was made subject to the 5-year order by Telford Magistrates' Court last week.
The order imposes the following requirements on Kettle:
- Must not act in an aggressive or threatening manner in a public place;
- Must not throw any object at any person or property without reasonable excuse;
- Must not enter Home Bargains or Sainsbury's in Whitchurch;
- Must immediately leave any premises when directed to by a uniformed member of staff.
It is an offence under section 339 of the Sentencing Act 2020 to breach the requirements of a criminal behaviour order. The maximum penalty is 6 months' imprisonment and/or unlimited fine on summary conviction; or 5 years' imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine on conviction on indictment.
Inspector Claire Greenaway-Evans, of West Mercia Police, said: "The behaviour shown by Kettle over a period of time has been unacceptable and has impacted a lot of people. I am glad that the court has issued this order which I hope will curb Kettle's behaviour. The order will help us to protect the people of Whitchurch."
West Mercia Police invites anyone who witnesses Kettle breaching the order to get in touch on 101.
