A prolific offender has received an interim Civil Injunction order following his alleged involvement in a number of violent incidents.
Last Friday (15 October), the Gloucester and Cheltenham County Court served a 12-month-long injunction against Danny O’Loughlin, 45 and of Eckington, preventing him from:
Gloucestershire Constabulary sought the injunction following a series of incidents involving two groups of men.
A number of men from both groups have been arrested in connection with the incidents and remain on police bail. Further injunctions are also being sought as part of this.
Chief Inspector Roddy Gosden said: "O’Loughlin is a violent and threatening individual who has a number of previous convictions as well as a high level of control and influence over his associates.
"We secured this injunction due to a rapid increase in violence as we want to make Cheltenham safe for all.
"We are also hopeful that preventing him from entering the boundary of Cheltenham will significantly reduce his ability to orchestrate crime here."
The injunction is in place until 4pm on 15 October 2022 and a breach of the terms could lead to a maximum of two years in prison.
A court hearing is due to be set for the full injunction case to be heard.
Anyone who sees O’Loughlin breaching the injunction is asked to call on 101 or 999 if he is present at the time. Information can also be submitted online at: https://www.gloucestershire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/soh/seen-or-heard/
