Babergh District Council in partnership with
Suffolk
Constabulary has successfully secured its first CRASBO (Criminal Anti- Social Behaviour Order) on a persistent young offender from Sudbury .
Joanne Pirie (aged 18) of Great Cornard appeared at Sudbury Magistrates Court for sentencing after earlier pleading guilty to assault. The CRASBO was raised by Babergh’s Anti-Social Behaviour Network Officer after Sudbury Police were called out repeatedly over a seven month period for a number of incidents involving Ms Pirie, particularly in properties belonging to the Ryes School.
The Order is effective for a period of two years and states that Ms Pirie is prohibited from:
-
Using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour or display any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting or causes harassment, alarm or distress;
-
Going within 50m of six named properties belonging to The Ryes School, plus the Ryes School itself.
-
Going into Belle Vue Park.
Should Ms Pirie breach the CRASBO, she could be looking at harsh penalties ranging from a fine to up to a maximum of 5 years imprisonment.
Babergh District Council’s Anti-Social Behaviour Network Officer, Sally Scott said “I am absolutely delighted with the result of the hearing. The Police and Babergh District Council have worked hard to achieve this outcome which clearly indicates anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated in communities, and people who behave in the same way should expect to face the consequences”.
Prior to yesterday’s CRASBO hearing, County Court had previously granted 3 other Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) in the Babergh district.
