Criminal Behaviour Order for boy from Ledbury

A 14-year-old boy from Ledbury has been issued with a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO).

Daniels Kalva was issued with a two year CBO on 24 August 2017 at Hereford Magistrates' Court.

The CBO prohibits him from:
1. Entering the grounds of John Masefield High School, Mabel's Furlong, Ledbury, or be found loitering within the immediate vicinity.
2. Entering the grounds of the Walled Garden, Ledbury.
3. Behaving in any manner which is likely to cause any person harassment, alarm or distress in any public place or place in which the public have access, which will include but not limited to: Being verbally abusive, swearing or shouting;  Acting aggressively or in a threatening and intimidating manner.
4. Being found in the company of two named individuals between 4pm and 10pm
5. Entering, or loitering outside the premises of Ledbury Youth Club, Bye Street, Ledbury.

PC Sarah Ransome-Williams from the Ledbury Safer Neighbourhood Team said: "Ledbury, like the rest of Herefordshire, is a very safe place to live, work and visit. Daniels Kalva has failed to comply with requests to change his behaviour, despite the efforts of police and partner agencies. He now has restrictions preventing him from associating with named individuals and from frequenting various areas in Ledbury and if he breaches those restrictions he will be arrested.   I hope this sends a strong message that we will not tolerate this kind of behaviour in our towns and, working closely with our partners, we will continue to apply for these powers for anyone adversely affecting the community.

"If people do see Daniels Kalva breaching his conditions they should call us on 101 so we can take action."
