Navy intruder man arrested again
A man who managed to get on board a US aircraft carrier has been arrested again attempting to enter a naval base less than 24 hours after being made subject to an anti-social behaviour order banning him from entering prohibited areas.Under the terms of the order Abdoul Masmoud Yessoufou was banned yesterday from entering non-public areas of Portsmouth Naval Base after he was caught on board the USS Harry S Truman on Saturday. But at 8.52am today, the 37-year-old from Newport, Isle of Wight, was arrested as he attempted to enter a gate at Portsmouth Naval Base. A Royal Navy spokesman said: "MOD police arrested a 37-year-old man at an entrance to Portsmouth Naval Base on suspicion of breaching an Asbo. "He is currently in custody at Portsmouth Central Police Station." Yessoufou sparked a security review at the naval base as he managed to get past both Royal and US Navy security to get on board the visiting nuclear-powered warship. He was able to walk around for two hours unhindered before he was found, arrested and detained initially under the Terrorism Act 2000. The Asbo issued by Portsmouth magistrates yesterday banned Yessoufou from entering restricted areas of the naval base, Portsmouth Continental Ferryport and Southampton International Airport, punishable by five years imprisonment. The court heard that Yessoufou had previously been convicted of entering airside areas at Heathrow on three occasions in February this year and on another occasion at Southampton airport.
