Boy, 17, electronically tagged after Harrogate crime spree
A teenager has been sentenced to an electronically monitored curfew for breaching a court order issued after committing a string of offences in Harrogate.
The 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before Harrogate Youth Court on March 3 after failing to comply with an order issued in August last year.
The court made the order after the teenager was charged with numerous offences in Harrogate.
These included carrying a knife and assault on Forest Lane, stealing £56 worth of watches from TK Maxx in Victoria Shopping Centre and stealing a bike from Swarcliffe Road in August 2022.
He also faced charges on theft of a Berghaus hoodie from Blacks on Station Parade, assault on Hookstone Drive and knowingly being carried on a stolen Piaggio Zip scooter in Harrogate on December 3, 2022.
The 17-year-old was also charged with stealing mountain bikes from St Aidan’s Church of England High School in October last year.

It requires him to abide by a curfew at his home address in Skipton for two months, which will be electronically monitored.
He was also ordered not to enter St Aidan’s for three months.
