Prolific Colchester shoplifter banned from Co-Op
Scott Lamond's CBO bans him from entering 5 different Co-Op stores
A prolific shoplifter has been banned from entering Co-Op stores in Colchester after admitting to more than a dozen theft charges.
Scott Lamond, 33, stole from the stores on 14 different occasions between 6 September and 20 September this year.
Lamond, of Greenstead Road, Colchester, was arrested after the final theft at a store on Wimpole Road on the 20th.
He's been sentenced to 20 weeks in prison suspended for 12 months, ordered to pay more than ÂŁ1,500 in compensation and given a three year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO).
The CBO bans him from entering Co-Op stores in Haven Road, Mersea Road, Wimpole Road, Peartree Road and Riverside Avenue.
Investigating officer PC Adam Buckingham said: “Scott Lamond has shown little regard for businesses he has stolen from.
“His actions will have had an impact on them financially.
“He has been spared time behind bars but knows that if he offends again he could be sent to prison.
“We will continue to work hard to protect the businesses across Colchester.”
