Peterborough thief banned from shops from three years
The Paston man was previously jailed for ten weeks for the offences
A man has been banned from entering eight shops across Peterborough and March for three years.
James Maguire, of Paston, Peterborough, admitted two thefts from shops and one theft from a vehicle in Peterborough.
The 39-year-old was jailed for ten weeks at Huntingdon Magistrate's Court in October.
Maguire was also given a criminal behaviour order (CBO) by Peterborough magistrates on Tuesday (9 October), which bans him from the following shops:
Tesco, in Staniland Way, Werrington, Peterborough
Marks & Spencer, in Brotherhood Retail Park, Walton, Peterborough
Morrisons, in Lincoln Road, Walton, Peterborough
Co-op, in Oundle Road, Orton Longueville, Peterborough
Boots, in Broad Street, March
Greggs, in Bridge Street, Peterborough city centre
H&M, in Queensgate shopping centre
Superdrug, in Queensgate shopping centre
Sergeant Luke Cooke of Cambridgeshire Police said: “A CBO application was submitted to the courts due to Maguire’s prolific offending which has a great impact on those he targets.
“The order gives us greater powers to tackle his offending, as we will be able to arrest with every breach.”
