Worcestershire thief banned from local Sainsbury's store

A criminal behavioural order (CBO) has been granted against a man from Redditch following a string of thefts in Sainsbury's.

Jack Albutt, aged 24 of Donnington Close in Redditch, was granted a CBO at Worcester Magistrates, Court on Thursday 31 August and will last for a period of two years.

The order stipulates that he is prohibited to enter the Sainsbury's on Alvechurch Highway in Redditch for the duration of the order. This comes after he was found guilty of a theft from the shop which took place on 24 June, 2023.

Commenting on the CBO, PC Greg Melville said: ‘"Albutt committed several thefts at the store, with three separate high value thefts in one day. Not only has this had an impact on the store financially, but it has also impacted staff and customers.

“What this result shows is that we will pursue offenders and we will robustly apply for orders to manage and prevent any future offending in order to make our communities safer.’’
