The crimes were mostly thefts from motor vehicles.

Following an application by Sergeant Jon Myers of Roxeth Safer Neighbourhoods Team, Uxbridge

Magistrates Court granted a three-year Anti-Social Behaviour Order (ASBO) against O'Brien which lasts until April 2011. It also stops him from entering neighbouring borough Hillingdon.
