A career criminal who was handed his first Asbo at the tender age of 13 and has since racked up more than 100 offences has been jailed once again - and even his mother believes he should be behind bars.

Dale Carter, 23, of Middlesbrough, has spent the last decade in and out of the courts and has committed 114 offences ranging from dangerous driving to vehicle theft and robbery.

He was released from prison for dangerous driving just a month before he committed a robbery.

He was one of two men to carry out an armed raid at a convenience store in Normanby, Middlesbrough, last November.

The 23-year-old and accomplice Jamie Manders, 22, wore motorcycle helmets to disguise themselves as they walked into the Premier Store armed with an eight-inch-long screwdriver.

Carter went behind the counter and tried to raid the till and he has now been jailed for four years for the robbery.

Carter's criminal past dates back to when he was just 13 when the then schoolboy became the youngest person in Middlesbrough to ever receive an anti-social behaviour order.

Middlesbrough Council applied for the order after a teenage Carter terrorised the Pallister Park estate.

But he repeatedly breached the Asbo and even his own mother, Julie, called for him to be locked up, saying he was totally out of control.

'It will break my heart, but it's for his own good,' she said at the time. 'I will never give up on my son. People have seen nothing yet. I will battle forever to get the boy I knew back.'

She blamed his criminality on drugs being freely available on the estate.

'They sell tablets for 50p each. He thieves to get the money ' she said. 'He's a lovely kid when he's not on the drugs.'

In August 2010, Carter was jailed for the fifth consecutive year when he was sentenced to two years in a young offenders' institution for his part in the theft of a motorcycle.

In January 2013, he was jailed for a total of 44 weeks and ordered to pay £1,250 in compensation after stealing a £2,000 red Honda motorbike from outside the Parkside Halls of Residence in Middlesbrough.

At that hearing, his own barrister described Carter's criminal record as 'abysmal'.

In March this year he was jailed for 10 months after speeding at 80mph in 30mph zone.
