A Crewe shoplifter who was banned from entering several shops across the town has been jailed, after breaching the terms of his Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO).
Christopher Evanson, of no fixed abode in Crewe, appeared at Warrington Magistrates' Court on Monday 6 October.
Evanson was jailed for 46 weeks for stealing a bicycle from an address West Street, on Thursday 14 August.
In addition to this, he pleaded guilty to shoplifting, including stealing products to the value of approximately £200 from a Co-Operative store in Shavington.
Officers also found him to be in breach of his CBO, which he was originally served with earlier in the year, and has the following conditions:
- Must not enter Dorothy Flude Retail Park
- Must not enter the curtilage of any residential property, save for family and with the express consent of the legal occupier
- Must not be in possession of a pedal cycle of any type or description
The order remains in place for four years.
Inspector Dan Welch, of Crewe Local Policing Unit, said: "Evanson is a prolific offender, and we are committed to making Crewe and the surrounding areas a hostile environment for those intent on causing havoc for businesses in our community.
"The CBO was put in place to allow for swift action to hold Evanson responsible for his crimes and he is now spending time behind bars for his failure to adhere to the conditions of his order.
"I hope this will provide reassurance to local businesses, demonstrating that we are committed to doing all we can to tackle shoplifting across Crewe."
Anyone who encounters Evanson breaching the restrictions of his order upon his release from prison is urged to contact Cheshire Police via the website or call 101.
