Teen awarded for gang crime campaign

A teen was honoured yesterday for his campaign against gang crime after his friend was stabbed to death at 16.

Alexander Rose sold T-shirts with an anti-youth crime message on eBay after Eugene Attram died in 2006. He has also worked with the police and invited to 10 Downing Street.

The 19-year-old, of Tooting, South London, was given an Anne Frank Award for his courage at a ceremony in London. He said: "Eugene was an innocent person caught up in gang warfare. I want to make sure others don't go down that path."
