Shoplifter banned from Telford Centre

A Telford shoplifter has been given a three-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) banning him from a number of stores in the town.

Nathan Stearn, of no fixed abode, was given the CBO at Telford Magistrates Court on Monday (16 June).

The 43-year-old was given the CBO, which will now run until June 2028, and means that he cannot enter the following stores during that time:

– Telford Town Centre except for bus station

– Co- Op in Stirchley

– Asda in Malinsgate

– The Range on Telford Bridge Retail Park

A CBO is a civil order designed to tackle the most serious and persistent anti-social individuals. The powers to issue a CBO are contained in the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, where behaviour has found to have caused alarm, distress or harassment.

Anyone who sees Stearn in breach of his CBO or committing an offence they should report it to police immediately: https://orlo.uk/wfHYR
