"THE Welsh inventor of a sonic 'anti-hoodie' device says he has been overwhelmed by orders after it was praised by a police force. Staffordshire Police Force has backed Howard Stapleton's invention, which gives shopkeepers a way to drive youngsters away from their shop fronts. The device, dubbed, 'The Mosquito,' emits infuriating high-frequency sounds. While unbearable to those under about 20 years old, they cannot be heard by most older people."
