The CBO bans Parker from entering: B&M Stores, Hathaway Retail Park, ChippenhamSavers, Market Place, ChippenhamSports Direct, The Gateway, Bythesea Road, TrowbridgeCo-Op store in Trowbridge or ChippenhamMarks and Spencer, Cradle Bridge Retail Park, TrowbridgeThe Shires Shopping Centre, TrowbridgeBudgens, Hackett Place, TrowbridgeSgt Charley Chilton said: “Parker was arrested and charged with theft by shoplifting in February. Since then he has continued his atrocious behaviour by continuing to steal, and be threatening towards members of staff.
"A Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) is put in place to protect those retailers and their staff and try to reduce re-offending. If Parker breaches any of the conditions imposed, he commits a criminal offence and is liable to arrest and once again he will be put before the courts. “The restrictions imposed on him sends out a clear message that this type of anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated and we will seek similar conditions against others if proportionate to do so.” If you do have concerns about behaviour in your area, please contact us by calling 101 or 999 in an emergency.
