A HIGHBRIDGE girl of 15 has pleaded guilty in court to committing nine offences over 18 days.

The teenager, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was made the subject of a six-month Youth Rehabilitation Order when she appeared at Taunton Magistrates' Court.

She admitted five counts of assault by beating, including two against police officers, and one of affray by using or threatening unlawful violence.

The youngster also used threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent to cause fear of or to provoke unlawful violence.

She further pleaded guilty to causing a nuisance or disturbance to an NHS member of staff and refusing to leave Gloucester Royal Hospital when asked to do so.

And she admitted damaging a wireless router, wall and window to an unknown value of under £5,000 to Within Reach Services.

The court, which made no order for costs, was told that all the offences took place in Gloucester between July 2 and 19 this year.
