A YOB has been banned from the city centre after a spate of crime and antisocial behaviour.

Ryan Tyles Breach must keep out of Brighton city centre for five years.

The 30-year-old builder is also forbidden from meeting Tobias Denyer, 37, who is also a prolific offender.

Breach, of fixed address, did not oppose the criminal behaviour order when he appeared at Brighton Magistrates' Court.

The ban excludes him from the city centre, including St James's Street, Queen's Road, and London Road.

Police said Breach is "a persistent and repeat offender whose criminal, nuisance and anti-social behaviour has been having a detrimental impact on local businesses and the community in general".

If he breaks the court order he will commit an offence which could see him sent to prison.

PC Rich Hall said: "The public can be assured that we will continue to use antisocial behaviour legislation, as well as criminal powers, to ensure that offenders not only answer for their criminal actions but are subject to ongoing restrictions such as those now imposed on Breach.

"People can help us to ensure that Breach keeps to the court's conditions by reporting any sightings of him in the city centre without delay."
