Police have secured a "crucial" injunction on a teenager who has been terrorising residents of Henbury.

Peter Clark, 19, of Westerleigh Road, Southmead, has been served with an injunction banning him from Crow Lane and the surrounding area for a year.

He is also barred from being with more than two other people in Henbury or neighbouring Brentry.

The conditions are the same as the ones imposed on Jamie Jeffrey, 18, from Ascot Road, Southmead, and Ashley Mullen, 18, from Roselarge Gardens, Brentry, as reported in April.

Sergeant Terry Scoble, in conjunction with Bristol City Council's Safer Bristol Partnership, obtained the civil court injunction as part of a continued crack-down on anti-social behaviour in the area.

An injunction is a final warning before police apply for an anti-social behaviour order.

Police say Clark has been at the heart of the trouble which has included street fights, being drunk and disorderly, threatening residents using the shops in Crow Lane and vandalising property.

If Clark is seen by police in the area in the next 12 months, he can be immediately arrested, taken into custody, and sent back to court, where he could be sent to prison.

Mr Scoble said: "This injunction on Peter Clark was a crucial one for us to get.

"He has been seen drinking in the street and has subjected the residents of Henbury to abuse and assault.

"From our point of view he was the main ring leader and seemed to have a large influence on other individuals who carried out much of the anti- social behaviour in Henbury.

"Working with Bristol City Council's anti-social behaviour team and the Safer Bristol Partnership we have worked hard to secure this injunction, which will undoubtedly keep incidents of anti-social behaviour at the current low levels being experienced in the area."

Last month, the Evening Post reported that calls regarding anti-social behaviour in Henbury had halved.

Police are encouraging residents and shop owners to report any sightings of Clark or any other youth in the area who is subject to an injunction or anti-social behaviour order.

Posters featuring Jeffrey and Mullen as well as three youths on Asbos – Truman Ward, 19, of Dovercourt Road, Horfield; Matthew Ryan, 16, of Henbury; and George James, 17, of Brentry – have been put up to name and shame offenders.

A new leaflet and poster featuring just Clark is now also being circulated by police officers in the area.

Stuart Pattison, Bristol City Council's ASB manager, said:

"Safer Bristol Partnership has taken action against Peter Clark to protect the residents of Brentry and Henbury from his intolerable anti-social behaviour.

"Safer Bristol Partnership is committed to tackling anti-social behaviour and with the public's help we can. We acknowledge that there is still more work to be done and the community can rest assured it will be."
