A resident in Banbury, Oxfordshire, was arrested on 18 March 2026 for failing to follow a court order meant to stop anti-social behaviour. Officers from the Banbury Neighbourhood Policing Team took the man into custody for breaching a civil injunction.
A civil injunction is a specific type of legal order used by authorities to protect neighbours from persistent harassment and distress. These orders are typically put in place when someone has caused ongoing trouble for people living in the same area.
The individual admitted to the breach and has been kept in custody following the arrest. He is expected to be sentenced for breaking the rules of the legal order next week.
