A MUoeF-FOUR who terrorised her neighbours has been kicked out of her home.

However Christine Boyarin, who had already been given a suspended jail sentence in July, avoided prison for flouting an injunction aimed at curbing her yobbish behaviour.

Miss Boyarin, 40, appeared at Burnley County Court after she breached a court order preventing her from having parties at her home in Lancaster Drive, Hapton.

Today neighbours, delighted Miss Boyarin had been booted out, told how they had been traumatised by gangs of booze-fuelled yobs rampaging around Stonemoor Bottom estate.

However, a neighbour slammed the decision not to jail her.

Miss Boyarin, who moved to the address last September, admitted having more than two guests in her home on July 28 and did not contest a possession order from Calico, which will reclaim the house later this month.

An original six-month injunction was imposed in April preventing her harassing neighbours, being a nuisance, using abusive or threatening behaviour, entering properties on Lancaster Drive without permission and having no more than six people in her home.

It was handed out after 100 yobs went on the rampage at her birthday party in March.

When she broke that on May 21 and July 9 it was tightened with a 28-day suspended sentence and a ban on booze in the house as well as the number of guests allowed being reduced to two.

The order will remain after she has moved.

After yesterday's hearing, neighbour Tracy Owen, 43, said she had to move in with her terminally ill mother Janice Smith, 62, who has bowel cancer because of the disturbances.

Mrs Smith said: "She was encouraging teenagers to drink, there was loud music, they would become abusive and urinate in the street.

"She used to stare at my window and make me feel like I was a prisoner in my own home."

Gill Devlin, 48, praised Calico and community beat manager PC Tony Himycz for their work

She said: "She has made people's lives on here a complete misery and at weekends there were youths creeping around the estate at two in the morning with alcohol.

"This is a slap in the face for the police and people will say why bother?

"The sooner she goes the better. If she wants any help with her packing we will all help her."

Passing the possession order district judge James Heyworth said justice would still be done without invoking the jail term.

Speaking after the hearing PC Himycz said: "This will make life easier for the neighbours. I'm quite pleased at the verdict because it will send out a message to other tenants that if they don't behave they could loose their home.

"Ultimately she has lost her home because of her bad behaviour."

A spokesman for Calico added: "We went to court expecting Miss Boyarin to get a custodial sentence.

"However, we are delighted with the result, as it means residents in the area can enjoy a peaceful life and witnesses will not have to return to court to give further evidence."
