Cambridge shoplifting duo ordered not to enter any shop in county together
A pair of shoplifters have been banned from entering any shop in Cambridgeshire together.
Lookout and thief duo Trevor Pilgrim and Carmel Holland were sentenced to the two-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court.
Pilgrim, of Stanesfield Road, Cambridge, pleaded guilty to five thefts of more than £1,000 from shops including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, BP Garage, Forbidden Planet and John Lewis between July 2021 and March 2022. He was given a 12-month community order.
Holland, 34, of Whittington Road, Cambridge, also pleaded guilty to five thefts of more than £1,400 from the Post Office, Tesco, BP Garage, Forbidden Planet and John Lewis between July 2021 and March 2022. She was given an 18-month community order.
The order give by the court on June 14 states the pair must not:
- Enter Tesco Milton, Co-Op Burwell, MICA Sawston and Post Office at Bottisham; or
- Enter any shop that sells products of any sort in the county of Cambridgeshire in the company of the co-defendant.
PC Beatrice Ley, who investigated, said: “Pilgrim and Holland are well known within the retail industry across Cambridgeshire for shoplifting. The pair have a number of convictions against their names.
“We hope this CBO will put a stop to their offending and provide businesses some respite. Any breaches of this order could land the pair a prison sentence.”
