A woman has been banned from a home in Great Yarmouth following a spate of violent and abusive behaviour.

Christina Sandells, 33, is unable to return to her apartment at 101 – 102 King Street after neighbours complained about criminal damage and ongoing behaviour issues. 

Great Yarmouth Borough Council's Tenancy Services Team worked with the Norfolk Police Safer Neighbourhood Team to hand Sandells an anti-social behaviour order that stops her from entering the property.

Councillor Graham Plant said: "As always, I would like to thank people who report their experiences of anti-social behaviour in the borough.

"It is always very positive to know that people in the town will work with us and support us when action is required to tackle behaviour that blights the lives of those in our communities."

If Sandells is found to have breached the order she could face a prison sentence of up to two years and an unlimited fine.
