Your top story this hour,
A Torquay man who was alleged to have ‘been a nuisance for years’ and ‘caused so much trouble to so many people’ has been given a three year antisocial behaviour order.
The ruling comes after police had logged 86 incidents since last year relating to the problems Ben Fone had caused in Lichfield Road, Torquay.
The 21 year old accepted the ASBO, which means he must move out of the road after September 21st.
PC Phil Owen claimed the ruling will result in ‘peace and normality for the residents, and safety in their homes and street.’
