Teenager banned from pubs and clubs after assault

Kafno was given a nine-month sentence suspended for 18 months with a prohibited activity requirement not to enter pubs or night clubs in Leamington Spa for six months after appearing at Warwick Crown Court in Leamington last week charged with assault.

If he fails to comply with the terms of this order, including an 18-month Supervision Order, he will be brought back to court where he could face a custodial sentence.

The assault took place outside the Leamington Fish Bar in Tavistock Street at 3.49am on Sunday March 11 when a male walked towards a group of people which included Kafno.

Kafno walked up to the male and put an arm around him then head butted him to the face. The male fell to the floor hitting his head in the process.

Kafno then left the area however the local CCTV operator who was watching the incident throughout, guided officers to where he was and he was arrested on suspicion of assault.

The victim was taken to Hospital for treatment to head and facial injuries.

Insp Faz Chishty said: “Banning orders are a vital tool in making the town centre a safer place for the majority of people to enjoy. We will continue to use all existing powers available to officers to protect people from harm.”

Officers are appealing to the public to help enforce this order by reporting any sighting of Kafno in the town centre pubs and clubs over the next six months including Christmas and the New Year.

A photo of Kafno has also been circulated via Pub Watch so they can ensure he does not break the terms of his sentence.

Insp Chishty added: “Town centre violence of any form is totally unacceptable. The vast majority of people want to go out and enjoy a safe night out with their friends in the town centre. Unfortunately, there are a few people who ruin the enjoyment of others by turning to violence - often after drinking too much alcohol.”
