Jun 4 2008 Liverpool Daily Post

A TWO-YEAR anti-social behaviour was issued to a prolific graffiti vandal after he admitted 30 offences on Merseyrail.

The 17-year-old from Ainsdale was responsible for damage totalling £20,500 at locations on the Northern line.

The ASBO prohibits the teenager from carrying any paint or shoe dye in public in England and Wales for a two- year period.

He pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing of North Sefton youth court to 10 charges of criminal damage, with a further 20 offences taken into consideration.

He was given a 12 month referral order, ordered to pay £1,000 compensation and received a forfeiture order.
