Peterborough man jailed for shoplifting from same shop 5 times in 6 weeks
The 27-year-old has also been ordered to pay £743.85
A man from Peterborough is serving a twelve-week prison sentence, after admitting eleven shoplifting offences.
Aaron Cliffe, of Aqua Drive, was arrested last week (27th May), after being spotted by CCTV operators.
The 27-year-old had been wanted for multiple thefts, including stealing from the same shop, five times in six weeks.
He's also been ordered to pay £743.85 in compensation.
PC Daniel Young, from Cambridgeshire Police, said: “Tackling retail crime continues to be an issue that we are working hard to tackle, and I would like to encourage businesses to continue reporting any incidents to us, regardless of value, to help build our investigations and identify prolific offenders.
“When it comes to dealing with prolific offenders such as Cliffe, we can apply to the courts for orders such as a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO), which will give us greater powers when it comes to tackling his offending.
"If it is granted, Cliffe will be banned from certain areas of Peterborough, meaning we can arrest him and put him before the courts if he is found in breach of the conditions.”
A decision on the proposed CBO is due to be made on 5th July.
