Yobs can’t meet up or catch trams
NEW ORDER BANS GANG FROM GOING NEAR EACH OTHER OR GETTING ON METROLINK
A GANG of yobs who have been wreaking havoc across Trafford have been banned from going anywhere near each other in public – and can’t catch a tram from five stops in the borough unless they’re with a parent.
If the teenagers ignore the injunction, they could be arrested.
The six troublemakers have been ordered to stay away from five Metrolink stations unless they’re with a parent or guardian.
The unusual move comes after months of anti-social behaviour and crime across Trafford.
People have been attacked in the street and teenagers have been caught carrying knives.
Parents have said they are scared to let their children out alone at night – or walk to school – because of hooligans.
The Anti-Social Behaviour Injunctions (ASBI) also ban the teenagers from being in possession of a knife, a blade or a sharp instrument anywhere in Trafford.
ASBIs are civil injunctions and were brought in to replace Anti Social Behaviour Orders (ASBO).
Anyone who breaches an injunction is in contempt of court and risks arrest.
Officers at GMP’s Trafford South division posted the full terms on Facebook.
“Power of arrest is attached to each condition if breached,” officers added.
Officers have worked tirelessly to THE conditions mean the teenagers are:
Banned from five Metrolink stations – Altrincham Interchange, Sale, Timperley, Brooklands and Navigation Road – without a parent or guardian.

In January, ‘terrified’ parents launched a Facebook group called ‘keep our children safe Altrincham/ surrounding areas.’ They used it to report attacks on their children - and share warnings.
In February, police slapped 14 teenagers with Acceptable Behaviour Contracts (ABCs) following complaints of a gang terrorising neighbourhoods in Altrincham, Hale, Sale and Timperley.
