'Fannymoor Five' fight ASBO threat

Dec 3 2008 by Sam Casey, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

TEENAGERS who are accused of terrorising their Huddersfield neighbourhood are battling a bid to give them ASBOs.

The four youths, who cannot be named because of their age, are alleged to have been behind a string of antisocial acts in Lowerhouses.

Among the alleged offences is the assault of a pregnant woman who suffered a miscarriage.

One of the youths is also accused of racial and sexual offences.

Kirklees Council is seeking Asbos against the four and the latest hearing was at Huddersfield Magistrates yesterday.
