A MAN from Redditch has been jailed for assault and breaching a criminal behaviour order (CBO).

Anthony Bellamy, aged 44, was arrested in the Kingfisher Centre on November 20.

Bellamy, of no fixed abode, was remanded in custody to attend Kidderminster Magistrates Court on November 21, where he was sentenced to 26 weeks in prison.

PC Mike Moore, from the Redditch Town Centre policing team, said: "We have been working continually with partner agencies to assist Bellamy with housing, rehabilitation and welfare, unfortunately he has not been willing to accept any support offered.

“We continue to work with people within the Town Centre who are struggling with Drug and Alcohol misuse, however if they do commit criminal offences they will be dealt with swiftly to protect people living in and visiting Redditch Town Centre".
