A tenant who was causing "misery and fear" to his neighbours has been evicted from his council owned property.
Shurn Lillico, also known as Shurn Hall, was a tenant at 14 E Warwick Street in Blyth, Northumberland from November 2020.
He was evicted for a range of offences including theft and assault, with his actions causing "misery and fear" to his neighbours and the community.

It is the third time this month Northumberland County Council has evicted a troublesome tenant, as it clamps down on persistent anti-social behaviour.
Earlier this month, Stephanie Marshall was evicted from a council -owned property in Blyth for a range of offences - including shouting and swearing at passers-by as she drank on her doorstep.
The council has said Shurn failed to disclose information on his Homefinder application in relation to previous convictions.
The council's tenancy agreement makes it clear the authority may seek to repossess a home if a tenant knowingly or recklessly gives the council false information to obtain a tenancy.
The county council carried out the eviction in partnership with Northumbria Police via the courts.
It comes after Lillico assaulted his partner in a "serious and sustained" assault at the Warwick Street address on February 12 2021.
He has also not been at the property for a number of months while also failing to notify the council of his intentions regarding the tenancy.
Philip Soderquest, head of housing and public protection at Northumberland County Council said: "Seeking the eviction of a tenant is not a decision we take lightly, but our message is strong and clear; anti-social behaviour and criminal behaviour, whether it takes place in the property or in the community, will not be tolerated and is taken very seriously by this council.
"We hope our actions offer peace of mind to the local residents who have been affected by his behaviour.
“We hope that our action will mean residents are no longer frightened to come forward and speak out and to provide evidence, whilst also sending out a clear message to those causing trouble that should they persist, then they too could lose their home.”
