A 15-year-old boy caught breaching his Antisocial behaviour order (Asbo) is spending time behind bars.
The youth from Mitcham was arrested after he was spotted by police riding a motorcycle from Galpins Road, Mitcham, on to Mitcham Common on February 21.
He was given a four-month detention order for driving while disqualified when he appeared at Wimbledon Youth Court on Thursday. Magistrates also gave him a six-month detention and training order for breaching his Asbo to run concurrently.
The schoolboy, who is excluded from school, was given a two-year Asbo when he appeared at court on July 31 last year. The Asbo ends on October 10, 2008.
The order prevents him from causing alarm or distress to anyone in the borough of Merton, driving any motor vehicle and entering Mitcham common on or with any motor vehicle.
