Six month in prison for ASBO breach

Sean Hart, aged 19 from Erith has been sentenced to six months for an ASBO breach. Hart was in court on 28 October and was found guilty of Actual Bodily Harm and breach of an ASBO. This is Hart’s third breach since being given an ASBO in June 2004, for his involvement in anti-social behaviour, burglary, theft and affray in and around the West Street area of Erith. The ASBO followed several months of work by Bexley Community Safety Partnership to investigate complaints of anti-social behaviour in the area, which targeted a number of individuals. As a result, Hart was identified as being one of a number of persons involved in serious and persistent offences. This called for robust enforcement action to combat the problems experienced by residents Cllr Chris Ball, Chair of Bexley Community Safety Partnership and Council Leader says: “The use of ASBOs is a strong tool in our armoury to monitor the behaviour of individuals who have been identified as being involved in serious problems in the community and it is important that the Courts continue to support this with appropriate sentencing of breaches, as in this case.”
