Banbury arrest as youths cause ‘significant’ problems
The group of kids have been causing criminal damage, have been interfering with vehicles and committing “general disorder” around Banbury, police said.
But over the past few weeks, Thames Valley Police’s Banbury neighbourhood policing team has been working “closely” with residents, businesses and partner agencies.
This has been to gather evidence and to build a clear picture of what’s been happening around the town with the kids.
In an update on Monday afternoon, police said: “We’re pleased to say that an arrest has been made today as part of this ongoing work.

“Our team has been busy carrying out enquiries, collecting evidence and completing interviews to ensure those responsible are held to account.
“Anti-social behaviour is a neighbourhood priority for us — and we won’t tolerate individuals causing harm in our community.
“Further updates will follow once the investigation progresses.”
