Sergeant Neil McKinnell from the Allerdale Neighbourhood Policing Team said: "We are pleased that the court granted this injunction to disrupt his behaviour and help improve the quality of life of those in the area. 

"This injunction assists us in managing Berry’s behaviour, and if he breaches these conditions, he faces being arrest, and the courts will have greater powers in which to sentence him.

“We encourage any residents who are having issues within their communities to speak to their local Community Beat Officer or PCSO or alternatively report issues via Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111."
