An Earlswood teenager who repeatedly breached his Anti-Social Behaviour Order (Asbo), has been sentenced to two months detention in a Young Offenders Institute.

Dean Turner, 17, of Emlyn Road, appeared at Redhill Magistrates Court on Wednesday, July 1, after multiple breaches of his five-year Asbo, originally imposed last November.

A detention and training order was made for two months.

The over-all term of the order lasts six months with conditions applicable on his release.

Since the Asbo was issued, Turner has been arrested for causing distress to others by firing an air-rifle out of his bedroom window, for frequenting Hooley Lane, an area he was banned from visiting, and for associating with a named individual he was banned from seeing.

Neighbourhood Inspector for Reigate and Banstead Charlotte Rimmer said: “The fact Dean Turner has been given a detention for breaching his Asbo highlights how seriously these orders are taken by Surrey Police and the Youth Justice system.”

She said: “We will not tolerate anti-social behaviour in our communities and through our Safer Neighbourhood Team’s hard work, we have been able to enforce the conditions of this Asbo.

“My officers will continue to target those who behave in a way that has a detrimental impact on the rest of the community.”

Neighbourhood specialist officer for Earlswood PC Kinza Labassi said: “Dean Turner has acted in an anti-social manner within the community on many occasions, and flouted the restrictions imposed by his Asbo.”

She said: “These conditions were put in place in order to reduce anti-social behaviour in the area and to allow residents to be able to live a normal life.

“Unfortunately Dean Turner has breached his Asbo on a number of occasions and now he must face the consequences.

“This clearly demonstrates that Surrey Police will not tolerate this kind of behaviour and will act robustly to tackle it when it occurs.”

The five year Asbo against Dean Turner will run until November 25, 2013.

The conditions ban him from causing a nuisance, alarm, intimidation or distress to a person not of the same household as himself within Surrey, from directly or indirectly contacting certain named individuals, from associating in a public place with certain named individuals, from entering a specified exclusion zone in the Earlswood area, and from leaving his home address between 9pm and 7am seven days a week, except in the company of an adult over 25.
