A man has received a court order to prevent him committing crimes in two West Cumbrian towns.
Jordan Starkey, 32, of no fixed address, has been given an interim violent offender order on Friday, which covers his behaviour in Whitehaven and Workington.
The order will be in place until December 6 when the case will be heard for a full order.
The order has the following conditions:
- Starkey must not be in any public place in Whitehaven and Workington within the defined boundaries of the maps between 8pm and 5am on any day of the week. A public place is a specified place including anywhere except a private residential dwelling or private hotel room.
- He must also not be in company with or have contact with four named persons.
A breach of the terms of the order, or failure to comply with the notification requirements of an order, constitutes a criminal offence punishable by five years’ imprisonment.
Inspector Richard Smillie, of Copeland Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We are pleased that we were successful in securing this order against Starkey.
“These conditions will assist us in protecting the public from Starkey’s offending during the night-time economy in Whitehaven and Workington.
“We will pursue him if he continues with his violent behaviour and breaches the terms of this order.
“We would encourage anyone who witnesses the terms of such a court order being broken to contact the police immediately.”
