Duncan Lewis, Legal News Solicitors, Anti social behaviour order (ASBO) for terrorizing and intimidation

Muntazir Hussain Shah, 17, of Hoxton Street, Girlington, Bradford, who had been terrorizing and intimidating people in his neighbourhood had been given an anti-social behaviour order (ASBA).

The teenager was subjected to the order by a district judge at Bradford and Keighley Magistrates Court.

Giving evidence at the hearing, Police Community Support Officer Rita Pugal said Hussain Shah was confrontational and aggressive on September 21 last year as she waited for a vehicle to be taken back to her personal space.

On November 4 she said that he was present when members of a large group of young people were throwing fireworks. She said she saw him and he shouted pig on that occasion.

The court was also told on February 23 Hussain Shah entered a shop from which he had been barred and refused to leave.
On July 27 this year, the court heard, PCSO Pugal was trying to ascertain the owner of an off-road bike when Hussain Shah told others, that she was just a PCSO and could do nothing. Kate Bisset, for Hussain Shah, said he had been arrested on a number of occasions which had led to no further action being taken or an acquittal after trial.
The order would last for two years banning Hussain Shah from acting or inciting others to act in an anti-social manner in the Bradford district, from entering a particular house in Hoxton Street and from contacting specific residents.

District Judge Sandra Knapton told him that she was not punishing him but was just trying to stop him from behaving in a way he had been doing in the past.
In a statement given after the hearing, anti-social behaviour officer John Crosland said that this particular youth had been behaving anti-socially for more than a year. He had terrorized and intimidated residents, visitors and business persons in the Girlington area and was a bad influence on younger youths.
He has been very disrespectful to uniformed police officers in the area and it was hoped that now he being the subject of an ASBO he would change his ways and a better quality of life will be restored.
