A prolific shoplifter from Crewe has been banned from several stores in the town after Cheshire Police were successful in securing a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO).

Graeme McLardy, 43, was handed the two-year CBO, which came into force on Wednesday 12 November, following incidents of shoplifting and vehicle interference.

McLardy must comply with the following requirements:

1. Must not enter any premises from which he has been notified he has been barred or excluded
2. Not to enter the Dunelm store in Forge Street, Crewe
3. Not to enter the Home Bargains store in Forge Street, Crewe
4. Not to enter the Morrisons Daily store in Nantwich Road, Crewe
5. Must not touch any motor vehicle without permission from the owner

Anyone who witnesses Graeme McLardy breaching any of his restrictions should contact Cheshire Police immediately (Photo: Cheshire Police).

Inspector Dan Welch, of Crewe LPU, said: "CBOs are one of the tools at our disposal to ensure that those who are intent on causing misery to local businesses and communities can be dealt with swiftly should they breach their restrictions.

"Anyone who witnesses McLardy breaching any of his restrictions should contact police so we can report it.

"The order remains in place for the next two years."
