Cambridgeshire shoplifter given two-year Criminal Behaviour Order

A prolific shoplifter has been handed a two-year Criminal Behaviour Order.

Leroy Meads, 32, of no fixed abode, was given the Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court on Friday (May 6).

The CBO prevents him from entering any Co-Operative store in Littleport.

Meads was also sentenced to 56 days in prison after pleading guilty to shop theft and breaching a suspended sentence for further offences of shoplifting and criminal damage.

PC Lucy Holderness, who investigated, said: “Meads is a prolific thief with a number of thefts against his name.

“We hope this order will provide some respite to businesses and any breaches of the Criminal Behaviour Order will be dealt with robustly.”
