A Boldon Colliery man has been sentenced to a five-year Criminal Behaviour Order after his anti-social behaviour made neighbours’ lives a misery.
Robin Smith, 63, of Ernest Street, was handed the order by South Tyneside Magistrates, following his conviction for breaching a Community Protection Notice.
The action was taken after 18 complaints were made in the space of a year about rubbish being stored and fires being lit at his property, dogs and verbal abuse.
