A 13-year-old boy identified by police as the third most prolific burglar in Bradford has been given a three-year anti-social behaviour order.

Luke Menzies was made the subject of the order at Bingley Magistrates' Court yesterday.

He became the youngest person in the Bradford district to be given an anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) when he was made the subject of a temporary order in August.

Yesterday's ASBO application was made by Bradford solicitor Harjit Ryatt, who referred to a written statement by Brian Hodkinson, intelligence analyst for West Yorkshire Police.

Mr Ryatt said: "Luke is the third most prolific target of all those currently at liberty in the category of burglary dwelling."

Mr Ryatt said Menzies, of Falmouth Avenue, Wapping, first came to the attention of the police when he was eight years old.

He said: "He has committed numerous offences and was first convicted at 11 years old when he was charged with theft in November 2002."

Stringent conditions have been attached to the ASBO and if Menzies does not obey them he could face a custodial sentence of up to two years.

The conditions ban him from:

l acting in a manner which causes or is likely to cause nuisance, harassment, alarm or distress to any person

l using threatening violence

l entering or attempting to enter or remaining in any building or any land, save for public land or place or where he has the consent of the owner's representative or for the purpose of requesting the owner's consent

l exposing genitals or bottom in a public place or a place to which the public has access

l being present when a criminal or anti-social act is being committed and encouraging or inciting others to carry out any of the prohibited acts on his behalf.

He is also banned from entering Bradford city centre unless he is accompanied by his mother or visiting the Youth Offending Team, court, police, solicitor or any other statutory body. He is also banned from entering certain parts of Pollard Park.

The catalogue of offences outlined to the court included a house burglary in April, firing a pellet gun at random in public, several incidents of theft, robbing a 12-year-old boy of £4, driving a car and threatening violent behaviour.

Mr Ryatt said: "His attendance at Carlton Bolling School is almost non- existent."

Chairman of the bench Harold Mathers said: "We have taken into account your age and grant that the order should end when you are leaving school and should be finding work."
