Teenagers barred from Eastleigh after attack near Sainsbury’s supermarket
Bail conditions mean two boys have been banned from a town in Hampshire
Two teenagers have been barred from a Hampshire town after an attack outside a supermarket.
The 16-year-old victim was assaulted at about 3.20pm on Thursday, November 5 outside a branch of Sainsbury’s and taken to hospital.
Police are investigating and have arrested two boys, a 16-year-old from Netley and 13-year-old from Botley. Both were held on suspicion of assaulting a person causing them ABH-level injuries and violent disorder.
The two boys have been bailed with conditions, pending further enquiries.
As part of the conditions of their bail, they are excluded from entering Eastleigh, must stay at a particular address overnight, and are restricted on who they are able to associate and make contact with. Police say they will be making bail checks and any breaches of the conditions of their bail are arrestable.
