The Allerdale Neighbourhood Policing Team last week secured two Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBO) against a man and a woman in order to address their persistent offending.
Criminal Behaviours Orders (CBOs) are issued in upon conviction and include prohibitions to prevent criminal and anti-social behaviour. The order will either prohibit or require the offender to do something as described in the order.
On 5 March, officers secured a two year CBO for Diane Rawlinson, 40, her order prohibits her 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 and Spencer, Workington
- Entering Morrisons, Workington
- Entering One Stop Shop, Seaton
- Entering Seaton Service Station, Seaton, Workington
- 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 and 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
Breaching the order is a criminal offence, which can lead to a prison sentence.
Sergeant Leesa Edwards from 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 a Criminal Behaviour Order can be up to five years in prison.
