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

Daniel Bent, of Bishopdale, Telford, was given the CBO at Telford Magistrates Court on Wednesday, 3rd September.

The 41-year-old was given the CBO, which will now run until September 2028, and means that he cannot enter the following stores during that time:

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 Bent in breach of his CBO or committing an offence they should report it to police immediately.
