A 15-YEAR-OLD Darwen youth nick-named the "Pied Piper" because of his influence on other youngsters has appeared in court for an alleged breach of an anti-social behaviour order the day after it was imposed.

Lee Taylor, of Hodgson Street, Darwen, was made subject of the order, designed to combat persistent nuisance on Monday by Blackburn magistrates.

One of the conditions imposed was that he should not enter the Ellenshaw estate in Darwen. He is alleged to have called at the home of a 14-year-old girl on the estate on Tuesday and was reported to police by her father.

Taylor appeared from custody but was remanded to appear before court next Tuesday..

He has been remanded to live with his mother in Hodgson Street.
