A Redcar man has been sentenced to three months in a young offenders' institution for twice breaching his anti-social behaviour order.

Scott David Wood, of Canterbury Road, received three months for each of the breaches, which he admitted.

He was reported for playing loud music late at night and revving his motorbike's engine while riding on pavements and grass verges.

The 18-year-old's sentence will run concurrently alongside the year in custody he is serving for assaulting a man last year.

Caroline May, prosecuting, told the hearing at Teesside Magistrates' Court on Monday that Wood was playing loud music between 10pm and 4am on dates between December last year and March this year, which was disturbing a neighbour who was suffering from cancer.

District Judge Stephen Earl said: "These are matters that are so serious that a custodial sentence is merited. When you get out, if there are any other breaches, custody will be the starting point. If you breach it again you know what to expect."

Last week, Wood was sentenced to 12 months' custody at Teesside Crown Court for attacking a car passenger when he stopped to remonstrate with him and another man after they threw a bottle at his vehicle.

Speaking after the hearing Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council's cabinet member for community safety, Joyce Benbow, said: "We are very pleased that where the council has obtained ASBO orders, they are being enforced. By putting him away, it gives people the freedom to live their lives in peace.

"Such sentencing should send a message to the rest of the community that we are willing and able to act, proving the system has teeth."

Wood's order came into force on July 28, 2004, running to April 23, 2008, because of problems caused in Marske, New Marske and Redcar.
