A man has been banned from entering several commercial and residential areas in Crewe, after Cheshire Police secured a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO).

Christopher Evanson, of Barncroft Road, Crewe, was served with the four-year order on Thursday 27 February, following numerous incidents of bike thefts across the town.

As a result, the 36-year-old has been banned from entering the Dorothy Flude Retail Park.

Evanson has also been banned from entering the curtilage of any residential property, and must not be in possession of a pedal cycle of any type or description.

If he fails to comply with the CBO, Evanson will be committing a criminal offence which may result in recall to prison or fine.

Inspector Dan Welch, of Crewe Local Policing Unit, said: "Evanson is a prolific bike thief that has frequently stolen from members of the public across the town for a long time.

"Hopefully the securing of this four-year criminal behaviour order will deter such actions in the future.

"I also I hope the granting of this CBO, which bans him from entering a number of residential and commercial areas within the town, can provide some reassurance to residents we are doing all we can to deter criminality and anti-social behaviour within Crewe."

Anyone who encounters Evanson breaching the restrictions of his order is urged to contact Cheshire Police via the website or call 101, to report it.
