A TEENAGER who has committed 87 offences is set to spend his second Christmas in prison.

Callum Hickman, 18, was back in Southampton Magistrates' Court after he failed to comply with a criminal behaviour order following his release from prison.

Back in September, Hickman was sentenced to a 24 week prison sentence, which was suspended for 18 months, after he pleaded guilty to damaging the entrance lights to the West Cliff Inn, in Bournemouth as well as racially aggravated disorderly behaviour in August.

He also pleaded guilty to two counts of assault.

As part of the suspended sentence Hickman received on September 15 - while he was in jail for another offence - he was required to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work as well as attending regular meetings.

However, he was sent back to the court after the probation service found he had only gone to three out of 18 meetings offered and carried out zero hours of community service.

The court heard that since his release he had been living with his disabled father and that Hickman had struggled to cope with his mother leaving and moving to London.

Mitigating, Oliver O'Connor said the offences carried out were the first as an adult and that Hickman was "immature".

He said: "He is in the wrong group of friends and should not be hanging around with them."

"He has already spent one Christmas in prison and he is worried he will spend another one there."

Hickman, of Princess Court, Southampton, was sentenced to 24 weeks imprisonment.
