Injunction secured against Birmingham gang suspect
Police have secured an injunction against a suspected gang member that bans him from his stomping ground and mixing with other men linked to urban street gangs.
The Gangs Injunction was granted at Birmingham County Court earlier this month against Coyitito Morgan.
It makes him the sixth man in Birmingham now bound by such orders, which come with strict conditions designed to disrupt the activity of people with suspected links to gangs.
The 23-year-old, originally from Newtown in Birmingham, now has an injunction preventing him from entering Newtown, Lozells, Handsworth, Hockley and Winson Green.
He is also banned from hanging around with 16 named associates – all men aged between 17 and 29 – and must provide police with details of any vehicle he owns or intends to drive.
Breaching the order – which runs until January 2022 – is a criminal offence that could see Morgan jailed.
Police officers from the Birmingham Organised Crime Unit, said: “There is a significant amount of police and community intelligence linking Morgan to gangs, plus he’s been at the scene of some nasty gang-related incidents.
“The court has granted us a Gang Injunction that will significantly disrupt his activity.
"If he flouts any of the conditions, we can arrest him and place him before the courts where he faces being jailed.”
