Abdul Raham Saleh receives ASBO banning him from Wealdstone high street

Man given ASBO for wielding knife in Wealdstone Man given ASBO for wielding knife in Wealdstone

A man arrested for wielding a knife in Wealdstone high street has been banned from the area for two years as part of an Anti Social Behaviour Order.

Abdul Raham Saleh, 19, of Overbrook Walk in Edgware was given the ASBO, which prevents him from entering Wealdstone high street and its surrounding area, when he appeared at Harrow Crown Court on Friday.

He also received two months in a young offenders institute for possession of a knife in a public place.

On November 13 last year CCTV operators observed Saleh pull a knife out of the waistband of his trousers.

Officers arrived at the scene searched the area with help from a police helicopter and dog handlers but couldn't find any trace of the 19-year-old, who had run off.

The following day an officer identified Saleh using the CCTV footage as the man wielding the knife and he was arrested on November 17.

Here we have a prime example of soft sentancing, A criminal caught with a Knife in a trouble hotspot where gangs hang around and a stabbing had already previously occured and yet he only got 2 months in a young offenders institute?
Firstly why did he not get the maximum term, Secondly why has he not been sent to an adult jail and not a soft young offenders establishment as he is 19
Here are the guidlines for punishment regarding carrying knives, http://www.cps.gov.u

He should have received 4 years in jail not 2 months!
