Teenager banned from specific areas of Greater Manchester - and can only visit on one condition
A court order was secured to ban 18-year-old Cullen Hinds from parts of Trafford
A teenager has been banned from a number of specific areas in Greater Manchester and can only visit on one strict condition.
Cullen Hinds, 18, of Old Trafford, is not allowed to enter the M32 postcode or go to the areas of Urmston or Partington, a court has ruled.
He is also banned from using or threatening unlawful violence towards any person in Trafford after police worked with the local council to secure a court order.

The order, granted at Manchester Civil Court on May 28, comes under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, GMP said.
He can only travel through the exclusion zone by car or public transport - but is not allowed out of his transportation or to deviate from an arterial route as part of the court order implemented.
If he breaches any condition of the injunction, which lasts for three years, he can be arrested.
Cllr Rose Thompson, Trafford Council’s Executive Member for Communities and Safety, said: “This action demonstrates our resolve to protect our communities and young people from the devastating consequences of serious violence.
"We are using every legal tool available to prevent further harm and ensure public safety remains our top priority.”
Inspector Scott Wolstenholme, of the Trafford North Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We have a number of tools at our disposal to tackle and curb criminal activity and keep our communities safe. These include criminal proceedings, injunctions, conditional behaviour orders and restraining orders.
"We rely on information from the public to aid our investigations and we will take action against anyone who is a blight on our communities.
"In working closely with partners, such as Trafford Council’s Community Safety Team, we want to make Trafford a safe place to live, work and visit.
"Anybody who has any information or concerns regarding ongoing crime within their community should contact GMP on 101 or via the reporting tools on our website, or by calling Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555 111."
