A BOY aged only 14 has been sentenced for three offences – including stealing a bottle of pop from a supermarket.

He appeared before Bradford and Keighley Magistrates’ Court to be sentenced for harassment, using threatening/abusive words/behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress and the theft of a bottle of Dr Pepper.

In the first offence, which he initially denied and then pleaded guilty to, he was said to have used “foul and insulting language” towards three people over a period of just over two weeks.

He also admitted the charge of using threatening/abusive words/behaviour, after initially denying it.

According to court documents, the third offence was committed last December at a Sainsbury’s store in Bradford.

The boy pleaded guilty to the offence.

He was referred to the Bradford Youth Offender panel for a period of six months for the series of offences.

Costs of £100 must be paid by the child’s parent/guardian, along with a surcharge of £22 to fund victim services.

A collection order was made and the court was to apply for benefit deductions.

The boy’s guilty plea was taken into account when imposing the sentence, which was handed down by the court on Wednesday, July 27.
