Criminal Behaviour Order Granted for Leigh Shop lifter

#safe4summer

Recently Arthur Mclean was arrested and charged with theft offences in the Leigh town centre area.

The Leigh neighbourhood team have applied for a criminal behaviour order to prevent him from entering the stores which he has been attending and stealing from.

Today the courts reviewed and granted a criminal behaviour order against this individual with the following conditions:

Not to enter Marks and Spencer on Parsonage Retail park
Not to enter Aldi on King Street

Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBO) are used to target individuals who are repeat demand generators, and have been identified as often engaging in criminality in a specified area. They are given to people who have been convicted of an offence with the aim to prevent them engaging in further criminal behaviour.

While a CBO is a civil order, breaching one is a criminal offence, and may result in arrest, charges, and punishments including imprisonment, fines, or community service.

This is part of our ongoing work with retailers to tackle criminality and make our towns safer.
