The order was granted at Chester Crown Court on Friday (November 11).

It means the 38-year-old is now banned from entering Crewe town centre and Grand Junction Retail Park for the next five years.

Sergeant Steve Tandy, of Crewe Local Policing Unit, said: "Daniel Quinlan is a persistent shoplifter who blatantly steals in order to fund his addictions.

"While we have previously attempted to engage with him, there comes a point when you have to say enough is enough and take additional action to protect stores.

"The ongoing financial crisis has had a significant impact on businesses and the last thing that shops in Crewe need is to continue to be targeted by a serial shoplifter like Quinlan.

"CBOs are preventative orders with strict restrictions that are imposed in a bid to stop persistent offenders committing further crimes.

The sanctions imposed for breaching a CBO can be severe - with the maximum penalty being five years in prison (Crewe Police).

"They are applied for separately to prosecutions for criminal offences as a last resort.

"I am pleased to say that we have seen a significant reduction of offending in Cheshire from those who are subject to a CBO.

"It is an offence to breach the terms of a CBO.

"The sanctions imposed for doing so can be severe, with the maximum penalty being five years in prison.
