Ringleaders of a Bradford gang caught red-handed on CCTV intimidating their victims have been banned from the neighbourhood they have been terrorising.

Social housing landlord Incommunities told magistrates yesterday they had 150 pages of ‘brave’ witness statements giving evidence on 40 incidents from the past 12 months alone, cataloguing the anti-social behaviour unleashed by the self-named Bronx Boys who claim Leeds Road as their territory.

Akeel Khan, 14, of Folkestone Street, Barkerend, and Bilal Khan, 18, of Gibson Street, Laisterdyke, failed to turn up for the afternoon Asbo hearing but magistrates went ahead with the three-year-long orders in their absence.

Peter Newbould, prosecuting for Incommunities, told the bench that the youth gang had inflicted “every kind of anti-social behaviour you can think of” on tenants of Webber Court, Amberley Court and Durkheim Court.

On his list he included intimidating residents, refusing to give way to people on pavements, causing damage to properties, shouting abuse and kicking down doors.

Both of the defendants, who had interim Asbos served on them in May, were identified as ringleaders after being caught on CCTV cameras installed earlier this year.

In the full Asbos granted yesterday Akeel Khan and Bilal Khan were not only banned from going into or trying to get into the three named communities but also from causing harassment, alarm and distress to the people who live there.

They were also forbidden to carry any spray paint or anything else that they could use for graffiti and not to damage any property that is not their own, not to light fires in public spaces, not to carry or light fireworks, not to urinate in public places, not to obstruct the free passage of pedestrians and not to use abusive, insulting and foul language.

They were also ordered to stay away from any of the witnesses who had come forward to give evidence against them.

After the hearing, Anna Fryer, who is director of Incommunities’ West City office, said the organisation was committed to working closely with the police, residents and partners to ensure its customers are able to live in safe and peaceful neighbourhoods.

She said: “As such, we are delighted that a successful court action has been brought against these individuals.

“These orders reflect the determination of Incommunities, partners and law-abiding residents to tackle anti-social behaviour in the area.”
