A Crewe man has been banned from four shops in the town following the successful application of a Criminal Behaviour Order.

Carl Walker was handed the five-year order on Monday 27 April at Crewe Magistrates' Court following evidence of shoplifting at various stores in Crewe, supplied by officers from Crewe Local Policing Unit.

Under the terms of the CBO, the 37-year-old must not enter:

• Tesco Extra in Tommy's Lane, Crewe
• Tesco Extra in Vernon Way, Crewe
• Morrisons in Dunwoody Way, Crewe
• Hobbycraft in Grand Junction Way, Crewe

Inspector Dan Welch said: "A Criminal Behaviour Order is just one of the tools that we can use to further protect communities from shoplifters like Walker, giving us additional powers if he breaches his conditions.

"That's why anyone who encounters Walker breaching any of the above restrictions is urged to contact Cheshire Police through our website or by ringing 101.

"We take shoplifting and crimes against retailers and businesses incredibly seriously and will continue to tackle these issues head-on."
