AN Andover teenager has been made the subject of a youth offender contract after pleading guilty to assault and stealing house keys.

The teenage girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted assaulting another girl by beating her and stealing her house keys during an incident in March.

The 15-year-old was referred to the youth offender panel for a nine-month contract when she appeared before North Hampshire Youth Court recently.

She was also ordered to pay £100 compensation, a £15 victim surcharge and and £600 Crown Prosecution costs.
