A 13-year-old Banbury boy has been charged with knife, drug and criminal damage offences as part of Banbury Neighbourhood Policing Team’s Operation Jankle anti-social behaviour investigations.

The boy was arrested on Tuesday evening and is due to appear before a youth court this morning (Thursday).

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: “The decision to remand a child to court is not one that we make lightly, and we work closely with Children’s Social Care to ensure a safety plan is put in place upon his release.”

The boy faces two charges of possessing a bladed article in a public place, a further two charges of criminal damage and one charge for the possession of cannabis.

Operation Jankle covers Banbury Neighbourhood Policing Team’s work to address a group of youths responsible for ongoing anti-social behaviour and offending in the Banbury area.

All Oldies All Evening

Your favourite music from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s

Spend your evening with us for brilliant memories from four decades of music - the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Each evening we dig through our massive collection of some of the biggest songs from three fantastic decades. From the 1960s we'll play the songs that were around at the time when England won the World Cup, man stepped on the moon for the first time, Dr Who was first broadcast, and everyone was groovy during the summer of love. From the 1970s it's the tunes that will bring back memories from the period when the sun never stopped shining during that long hot summer, people played with Simon, we went to see movies like Grease and Jaws for the first time, and we boogied at the best discos. From the 1980s we select songs that were around in the era of the first CD players and home computers, the iron lady, the first episode of The Simpsons and the Live Aid concerts. From the 1990s the music will evoke memories of Cool Brittania, Girl Power, Britpop and big puffa jackets. You'll be singing along with your favourite music from four brilliant decades all evening long!
