A VANDAL will be fitted with an electronic tag after breaching an Asbo ordering him not to spray graffiti in Gravesham.
Jake Devenney, of York Road, Dartford, was given a two-month curfew order running from 7pm to 6am when he appeared at Dartford Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (April 22).
The curfew order will be enforced by an electronic tag.
Eighteen-year-old Devenney had admitted committing 22 offences related to spraying graffiti, which caused £1,785 worth of damage, and breaching a three-year Asbo he was given on February 9.
As well as the curfew, he was given a 12-month community order, told to carry out 100 hours’ unpaid work and ordered to pay £100 compensation and £60 costs.
Speaking after the hearing, Chief Inspector Philip Painter, who is in charge of neighbourhood policing in north Kent, said: “It is astonishing somebody can consider criminally damaging other people’s property by painting all over it anything other than detrimental to the appearance of the town.”
