Report Two brothers believed to be Preston's worst graffiti vandals have been banned from the city until they are 18. Jake McLaughlin, 15 and brother Dean, 16, formerly of Wellfield Road, off Marsh Lane, were in a gang responsible for a wave of violence, intimidation and Preston's worst-ever graffiti spate which left a £100,000 trail of destruction. Now, Preston Magistrates have banned them from the city permanently until they reach 18. The brothers face up to five years in custody if they breach their ASBOs which also ban them from possessing marker pens and spray paint and from using threatening behaviour. The pair had boasted about receiving interim ASBOs on a web page and one of them sniggered throughout his court hearing. One police officer, who welcomed the ASBOs, said the graffiti caused by the brothers was the "worst ever seen" in Preston. The duo were a major catalyst in the aggravation caused by Marsh Lane Massive – a group of yobs who have left a trail of more than 1,000 graffiti tags across the city and claim on a website to have been a gang since November 2006. The duo were moved by their parents to Blackpool to start a new life after the courts imposed their interim ASBOs, but Preston Magistrates Court heard there had already been several breaches – and that new graffiti reading "MLM 2008" had appeared in parts of the city. District Judge Peter Ward, presiding over Jake's case, condemned the display of their behaviour on the Internet. A web page for MLM lists a catalogue of crime including assaulting people, rampaging through a shopping centre and defacing buildings. District Judge Ward said: "There has been a serious problem with your behaviour. Your parents have taken a responsible approach and moved you away from the area but you still came back when you shoudn't have." Jake's solicitor Michael Leach said the boys needed to come to Preston to see their grandmother and that Jake had breached his order to see his 15-year- old girlfriend. But David Sandiford who represented the police in both cases, said: "In a previous breach there was evidence Jake had sought out another member of MLM, though he was turned away from the house." 34 Jake's order will last for three years until his 18th birthday. Dean's case, heard on Monday, resulted in a two-year order with the same prohibitions.
