Moment rapist Joseph McCann is pulled from bushes to be arrested by the Metropolitan police

From starting fires to wrecking cars, vandalising property or even shooting at people with air rifles, the notorious 'ASBO Kids' became known as the poster boys for street crime committed by children as young as ten.

For some, ASBOs had little effect on their lives and they would go on to commit more serious crimes - including burglary, rape and murder. Labour's new measure will only be imposed on adults - not children - and will carry a maximum two-year prison term for breaching the order, as opposed to five. Daniel and Ricky Oakley, pictured sporting their burns after throwing a can of foam on to a bonfire, became the youngest recipients of anti-social behaviour orders in 2006

Speaking to MailOnline previously, Daniel recalled: 'That was just the start of it. There was a big explosion that's for sure, we were walking down our road with smouldering hair and no eyebrows... I've come a long way from where I was.' 'My personality disorder came from my ASBO,' he added, 'I became ''famous'' and was forced to live in my own bubble.

It was prison, not ASBOs, which made him open his eyes. 'Prison really changed everything,' he said, 'My freedom had been taken away and that really taught me a lesson.' Daniel recalled how life on the council estate where the boys grew up was hard and, without parental guidance, they revelled in their notoriety as a trouble maker.

When asked about plans to reintroduce ASBOs, Danny told MailOnline they were 'ineffective'. He added: 'They are not a deterrent. If you do a crime, you should do the time. The siblings were said to leave neighbours cowering in their wake, but a handful kept files of evidence on the boys while council bosses set up a video camera after receiving so many complaints.

In 2008, he was jailed for nine years for aggravated burglary after forcing his way into an 85-year-old man's home in Bedford and threatening him with a knife. He had been charged with a total of 37 offences relating to 11 victims, ranging in ages from 11 to 71. During his latest burglary in 2018, the bumbling villain cut himself as he smashed a window and left a trail of blood as he scoured the house

But the bumbling villain cut himself in the process and left a trail of blood as he scoured the house.Sentimental items had been stolen including watches worth £750 - one of which was 35 years old and of significant sentimental value. 'A significant number of offences occurred in the Byker Wall area. At that point the design of the structure was considered to be relatively easy to enter with a small person being passed through the window by others. It has extended into his adult life.

He said at the time: 'I believe it's important to treat others how you would like to be treated yourself and to have respect for other people.He added: 'The only names I want to be called now are Anthony and Dad. I've turned my back on crime and would never go back to that life. I've got too much to lose.'Alfie Hodgin, pictured aged ten in 2014 , was one of the youngest people to receive an ASBO.

The teenager from Liscard, Merseyside, was working for an organised crime group in a bid to pay off debt he had accumulated but he instead stole the gang's phone and drugs as he attempted to run his own operation. But he would be arrested by officers who found him in the possession of £1,220 of heroin, £1,100 of crack cocaine and a £1,208 'graft' phone.

Kyle once swung a metal bar at a woman after she challenged a group of youths who were causing a disturbance, a court heard. Kyle once swung a metal bar at a woman after she challenged a group of youths who were causing a disturbance, a court heardKyle was jailed in 2020 for breaching the terms of his community order.Craig Fletcher, 33 , of Eston, was handed a life sentence, with a 25 years minimum term for his part in murder. He filmed the attack on his mobile phone.

Undeterred and clearly not rehabilitated, Fletcher grinned in the dock in 2018 when the then-21-year-old was jailed for two years and nine months for a horrifying assault on a 16-year-old boy. Prosecutor Peter Makepeace QC told the court Mr Barnes died from a severe blunt force head injury with multiple impacts to the head causing skull and facial fractures, brain damage and severe swelling.

Simon Bourne Arton QC said told the men in court: 'Gavin Barnes was 35 when you killed him... No sentence I impose upon you can begin to compensate his family and his friends. Nothing I do or say can help them in their grief.' Mr Barnes was in distress and unable to speak or make coherent noise except 'guttural expressions of pain'.

White made headlines in 1999 when he was stripped of his right to anonymity after continually breaching the ASBO which he was handed at the age of 12. Jailing him at Bristol Crown Court, Judge James Patrick told White it was an extremely serious offence and the victims were confronted by a group of 'mob handed' offenders.

In a bid to deter him from further offences, a judge removed his anonymity but decided not to send him to jail. He was labelled a 'one-boy crime wave' back in 2000 after being arrested 100 times for violent crime, burglary and car theft when he was just a teenager. The career criminal vowed to change his ways when he was released early in 2018, telling a judge he was 'desperate to stay out of prison' so that he could settle down and raise a family.

Tyler Williams and Shamen Williams Tyler Williams and Shamen Williams were just baby-faced 13 and 10-year-olds when Kent Police took their first mugshots and they were served with an ASBO in 2003 The three brothers embarked on an hour-long violent spree 'for sport or fun' on March 4, 2021, targeting strangers in the street with a machete in Kent.

Shamen was convicted of two offences of affray, two of possessing a bladed article, assault causing actual bodily harm, criminal damage, wounding with intent and attempted wounding with intent.Their previous offending included attacking victims with their Pitbull crossbreed dogs as well as a clawhammer.

The victim was able to preserve DNA on a tissue and prosecutors said it was ‘one billion more times likely‘ to have come from McCann. Victim five, six and seven, May 5 - McCann struck again after meeting a woman at a bar in Lancashire and going back to her home.
