A Wirral man has been jailed for breaching his gang injunction.
Jack Roach, aged 21, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty at Liverpool Civil and Family Court on Friday, July 19th to breaching the gang injunction and was jailed for 18 weeks.
Roach had previously been handed a 12-week suspended sentence on March 19th 2024 for a previous breach earlier in the year.
He subsequently breached the gang injunction again on March 21st 2024 by associating with a person on his non-association list, activating the suspended sentence. He was given the additional six weeks for the latest breach.
Woodchurch Neighbourhood Inspector Sharon Robinson said: “Our officers are dedicated to making a positive difference within our communities and disrupting the lives of those prepared to engage in criminality, which brings with it significant harm and distress.
“We are determined to tackle serious and organised crime in the EVOLVE Wirral area and will use everything within our policing powers to make Woodchurch, Beechwood and Noctorum safer places to live and visit.
“Together with our partners we are using all the powers and legislation available to us to crackdown on gang-related activity.
“Gang injunctions form part of our continued work to make the EVOLVE Wirral areas safer places to live, work and visit.
"The prohibitions of those who have been handed gang injunctions are well known by our local officers and are policed rigorously so if Roach breaches his prohibitions again, we can act quickly to arrest him and put him back before the courts.
“We urge anyone with any information about criminal activities to contact us, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, so together we can make a difference to the lives of those growing up and living in EVOLVE neighbourhoods.”
