Three teenagers from an Oxford estate are to be handed Acceptable Behaviour Contracts (ABCs) to halt their bad behaviour.

Officers from the Blackbird Leys police team are drawing up the contracts with a list of acts the offenders have agreed not to commit and outlining the consequences if they breach them. The contracts usually last six months before they are reviewed.

Police spokesman Daniel Donovan said: “We are currently working on putting together ABCs.

“We have identified a group of youths that need to be targeted.”
