LONDON (AFP) - A British juvenile delinquent who terrorized his neighbors with a chain saw was banned from wearing a cap or hooded sweatshirt for five years.
Authorities slapped the Anti Social Behaviour Order on 16-year-old Dale Carroll of Cheetham, a suburb of Manchester, northwest England, after he was caught on a video surveillance camera taking a chain saw to a metal post.
Carroll, known as "Elms" to his friends, then threatened a passing cyclist with the chain saw.
It was the first time an Anti Social Behaviour Order, an administrative measure introduced to reduce rising juvenile delinquincy, had been used in such a manner by British authorities.
Carroll was also ordered not to associate in public with more than two people except for family members, and use a chainsaw, saw or fireworks.
A violation of an Anti Social Behaviour Order could lead to a jail term of up to five years.
OI! No hoodies for you lot, then.
The better to see him with.
Cheetam Hill has been written up at least 3 times in the last month for the yob crime wave there. Without many guns, they've been quite creative with their yob weaponry.
