The Allerdale Neighbourhood Police Team have today (Sept 27) secured a two year Criminal Behaviour Order against John Pickering, 53 from Maryport.
The following conditions have been imposed on him not to:
- Enter any property or premises that are members of the Workington Schemelink scheme or display the Schemelink logo at any time.
- Enter any property or premises that are members of the Maryport Schemelink
scheme or display the Schemelink logo at any time.
- Enter any property or premises that are members of the Carlisle Shopwatch
Scheme or display the Shopwatch logo at any time.
- Enter Home Bargains on Derwent Drive, Workington.
The Criminal Behaviour Order is a great outcome and is a useful tool to place restrictions on Pickering to prevent further criminality and help protect business owners.
We would encourage anyone who witnesses the terms of such a court order being broken to contact the police immediately.
The punishment for breaking the terms of a CBO can be up to five years in prison.
