Good morning, 

The Pennine neighbourhood team attended an address at Howarth green as part of our ongoing efforts to deal with anti-social behaviour linked to drugs and to build up evidence for a closure order. 

While at the address we found a male hiding under a bed who was wanted for multiple thefts and breaches of a criminal behaviour order that we had secured on previous convictions. 

This male decided that he didn't want to be arrested and tried to fight with officers in an attempt to escape, ultimately he lost this fight. 

He is now with us in custody where I have no doubt he will charged and remanded to court before going back to prison.
