TWO WOMEN have been told by a court they will be arrested if they go within 200 yards of any station on Tyneside's entire Metro network.
Magistrates at Gateshead imposed the 40-station ban — covering virtually the entire county of Tyne and Wear — as a condition of bail for the two women, aged 21 and 18.
Pamela Gilbert, of Valium Road, Walker, Newcastle, and Barbara Maberly, of Roman Avenue, Walker, are both charged with robbing and attempting to rob latenight passengers on the Metro system.
They were bailed to reappear at Gateshead court on August 30.
