A NOTORIOUS troublemaker has been given an antisocial behaviour order – and another has had his extended – to stop the misery they have been causing.
One of them "smashed up" the cars of residents in "outrageous" incidents and the other was a prolific shoplifter.
Shane Tilling, 23, of Barnard Walk, Immingham, was given a two-year Asbo when he was sentenced at Grimsby Magistrates' Court for a series of criminal damage incidents.
The offences took place in Somerton Road, Immingham, on September 22.
Tilling, who was with a friend and co-defendant for the first offence, used a stick and bricks to attack a local resident's car.
The resident challenged the pair and an argument took place.
Tilling, who had been drinking, later attacked two more cars.
During a previous incident, also in Somerton Road, on July 16 last year, Tilling was shouting, swearing and being generally abusive.
He was told to calm down and leave the area but did not do so. He later admitted drinking two litres of vodka.
District judge Daniel Curtis gave Tilling a six-month supervision order and a 56-day 7pm and 7am curfew. He was ordered to pay £100 compensation.
Inspector Neil Pattison, who is responsible for the neighbourhood policing team for Immingham, said: "Shane Tilling's behaviour when he damaged a number of cars belonging to Shoreline residents was, quite simply, outrageous.
"While under the influence of alcohol, he systematically smashed cars up and put a lot of people in fear."
The Asbo was imposed after good work from Shoreline's antisocial behaviour team, which provided high levels of support for residents who suffered because of Tilling's actions.
Residents provided valuable information about his activities, which was included in the Asbo application.
Close work between the police, the community and other agencies is seen as essential in successfully obtaining Asbos.
Conditions of the Asbo ban Tilling from using abusive, insulting, threatening or intimidating language or behaviour and from entering an area including Somerton Road, Immingham.
Another regular troublemaker, Brian Copplestone, 45, of Bowers Avenue, Grimsby, had his Asbo varied in his absence. He declined to attend court. His Asbo was extended for a further two years.
Conditions now include a number of stores which he cannot visit, including any Tesco or Asda supermarkets in North East Lincolnshire.
The variation is designed to provide extra protection for residents of Cyril Cooper Court, Grimsby, where Copplestone causes problems.
