HERE is a round-up of five of the biggest crime stories in Evesham last year.
1. In December Gary Booth was jailed after his out of control dog bit and scarred a child.
Booth was was sent to jail by Judge Nicholas Cole at Worcester Crown Court after his dog, Shadow, bit a schoolgirl in Evesham High Street while she was walking home.
The 21-year-old now of Charleville Road, Birmingham, is also due to be considered for a criminal behaviour order which police can seek from the courts to bring Booth's behaviour under a tighter leash when he is finally released from prison.
