A PROLIFIC shoplifter from Pershore has been issued with a criminal behaviour order (CBO) by Worcester Magistrates Court.
Tom Cole, aged 25, has behaved anti socially, disorderly and at times in a threatening manner towards shop staff and members of the public.
Cole has spent Christmas in prison thanks to a 26-week sentence for shoplifting. When he comes out he will be subject to the CBO which is granted for two years and states that he must not:
Enter Tesco on High Street, Pershore
Enter Asda on King George’s Way, Pershore
Enter The Factory Shop in Pershore
Make contact or communicate with a named individual (victim who is a member of shop staff) in any way, either directly or indirectly.
Refuse to leave a premises, or an area forming part of a premises, when asked by someone who has authority to do so.
PC Amy Hunt of Pershore Safer Neighbourhood Team said:
“The officer in charge and colleagues at Pershore SNT have worked hard with other police colleagues to get this CBO in place.
“We hope it sends a message that we are taking positive action against prolific shoplifters and are working hard to make Pershore a safer place.”
