WEALDSTONE is now off-limits for an 18-year-old tearaway handed an anti-social behaviour order who was arrested no less than 10 times this year.

Harrow Magistrates' Court imposed the ASBO on Sahal Amin, of Kenmore Avenue, Harrow, following his conviction on December 20 for assaulting an police officer.

During 2010, Amin was arrested for possession of cannabis at least six times – all but once in Wealdstone - and was forced to leave the Wealdstone dispersal zone by police officers on multiple occasions after milling around outside William Hill or McDonalds in High Street.

Within the space of three days in May, he was handed an 18-month conditional discharge by magistrates for a public order offence, he was fined for possession of cannabis and then was given another conditional discharge and community order for being caught with having the same drug.

The conditions of the ASBO mean Amin cannot enter or be in the Wealdstone dispersal zone at any time except as a passenger on a bus.

He is equally forbidden from gathering in public with any of the following: Maher Al-Sharieff, Tariq Al-Sharieff, Liban Farah, Abdulla Abdulla, Mohammed Barre, Thomas Weight, Daniel Murray and Mohammed Hussain.

Furthermore, Amin cannot meet in public fellow troublemaker Kristian Palnoni, who himself was slapped with a similarly-restrictive ASBO by the same court earlier this month.

Under the terms of his ASBO, Amin is barred from riding any pedal cycle within the London borough of Harrow on a pavement or shopping centre or be part of a group of three or more people within the London Borough of Harrow where any member of that group is acting in a way to make any other person fear for their safety.
