Two people have been banned from shops in West Cumbria to stop their criminal and anti-social behaviour.
Cumbria police have secured criminal behaviour orders against Diane Rawlinson, 40, and Mark Little, 29.
Little was handed a 12-year order.
Little is banned from:
- Entering any shops or premises that are members of the Workington Schemelink or who display the Schemelink sign.
- Entering any shops or premises that are members of the Maryport Schemelink or who display the Schemelink sign.
- Entering Marks & Spencer, Workington
- Entering Aldi, Workington
- Entering Spar in Workington and Maryport
- Entering Herons Foods, Maryport
- Entering Morrisons Daily, Harrington Road, Workington
- Entering B&M Bargains, Maryport
Rawlinson was handed a two-year order.
It means she is banned from:
- Entering any property or premises that are members of the Workington Schemelink scheme or who display the Schemelink sign at any time.
- Entering Asda in Workington
- Entering Marks & Spencer, Workington
- Entering Morrisons, Workington
- Entering One Stop Shop, Seaton
- Entering Seaton Service Station, Seaton
Breaching the order is a criminal offence, which can lead to a prison sentence.
Sergeant Leesa Edwards, of Allerdale Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “Criminal behaviour orders are a useful tool to prevent further criminality and help protect business owners and local residents.
“As a team we are proactive in identifying those persistently committing offences and making such applications at court. We would encourage anyone who witnesses the terms of such a court order being breached to contact Cumbria police.”
The punishment for breaking the terms of an order can be up to five years in prison.
