A man has been banned from Crewe town centre for five years under the terms of a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO).

Neal Adams, 52, was handed the five-year order in relation to shoplifting.

Under the terms of the CBO, he must comply with the following conditions:

• Must not enter Crewe town centre, unless for a pre-arranged appointment for which he has written proof
• Must not enter Oak Street in Crewe
• Must not enter Dorothy Flude Retail Park

Inspector Dan Welch, of Crewe Local Policing Unit, said: "CBOs are another tool we have at our disposable to allow us to better deal with repeat offenders and help put a stop to their behaviour.

"We hope this result will help to reassure the local community that we are committed to proactively dealing with this type of offending.

"Anyone who sees Adams breaking any of his conditions should contact Cheshire Police by calling 101 or reporting information through our website."
