Of all the ways to phrase the headline the BBC chose the weirdest one.
>They cannot use violence, intimidate or harass any person and must not wear face coverings in a public place.
>The men also cannot contact any person under 18, including the use of social media or through a third party, or possess any drugs unless they are prescribed.
>The orders will remain in force until 23 August 2026 and a breach could result in a prison sentence.
So they’re not allowed to break the law for just over a year? Thank god for that.
>Thomas and Isaac Bickersteth

From 2024:
>Thomas and Isaac Bickersteth, both 18 and of Sawley Close, Wakefield, were part of a gang of four young men spotted acting mysteriously at a petrol station on Jacob’s Well Lane when a car driven by an older man started driving at them.
>The two young men were charged with affray and being in possession of a bladed article and sentenced at Leeds Crown Court on Thursday, May 30.
>Thomas was also dealt with for a further charge of robbery that happened two years prior on April 3, 2022.
>In mitigation, the court heard that the two brothers had spent six weeks in prison and it had been a “serious wake up call”. They also had no previous convictions and were “young men of good character”.
>The judge, Mr Recorder Samuel Green KC, said that he would take the two men’s young age into account when passing sentence. Thomas’s punishment was also aggravated as he was on bail for the robbery charge at the time of the other offence.
>Thomas Bickersteth was sentenced to a year in custody, suspended for two years and ordered to carry out 40 rehabilitation activity day sand 150 hours of unpaid work. He was also ordered to pay £120 to the robbery victim.
That article was at the end of May last year, so 14 months later Thomas has been charged with possession of a firearm. This was discovered in April so he was out of jail in less than a year for carrying an offensive weapon and robbery. Same with his brother. https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/crime/man-charged-armed-police-wakefield-5080332
I’m sure this nice, soft approach will work this time though! No more going into Wakefield City Centre for him.
Gang members are notorious rule followers, I’m sure this will definitely stop them.
