These three yobs have been given anti-social behaviour injunctions thanks to their appalling behaviour towards vulnerable residents in Gateshead.
The orders were made after Gateshead Council and Northumbria Police received reports of a series of incidents involving the trio. These included "cuckooing" properties and using them as a base for illicit activities, stealing money given to victims in benefits, stealing food delivered by carers, physical assaults, as well as other forms of exploitative and threatening behaviour.
Under the terms of the injunction, Joanne Reay, 45, and Kevin May, 58, of Ermine Crescent, Sheriff Hill, and Natasha Newton, 29, of Milton Road, Swalwell, are forbidden from causing harassment, alarm, distress, nuisance or annoyance, to any person in Gateshead.
