A Wrexham man has been handed a four-year community behaviour order (CBO).

Paul Evans, aged 55 and of no fixed abode, appeared at Wrexham Magistrates Court on Tuesday, August 13, having admitted assault following an incident in Queen’s Square on May 21.

He was issued a CBO, which means he cannot enter Wrexham city centre for the next four years and must engage with drug and alcohol services.

Wrexham city Support Sergeant Rhian Hughes said: “Paul Evans is a persistent offender in Wrexham, and I hope that this CBO will provide reassurance to residents and the community.”

Criminal Behaviour Orders are issued by a criminal court to tackle serious and persistent individuals engaged in criminal activity.

Breaching a criminal behaviour order is a criminal offence and could result in imprisonment.
