PROLIFIC SHOPLIFTER BANNED FROM STORES ACROSS LANCASHIRE

This is Christopher MORAN; he is a prolific shoplifter who targeted shops across South Ribble and Preston in a sustained shoplifting spree. Yesterday, at Preston Magistrates Court he pled guilty to 10 counts of theft and was sentenced to 12 weeks imprisonment and issued with a Criminal Behaviour Order for 5 Years. MORAN is already in prison serving a 52 week sentence for other offences. 

The CBO bans him from:

1)            Entering any the following stores with the UK: Booths, Iceland, Tesco, Co-Op Food Store, Sainsburys, B&M Bargains, TK Maxx, and Trespass

2)            Entering Preston Marina, Navigation Way, Preston 

3)            Entering the area of Penwortham, as outlined by the attached map 

4)            If requested to leave any retail premises by any employee of those premises, do so immediately, returning any stock selected prior to the request before doing so

CBOs are used to target individuals who are repeat demand generators and have been identified as often engaging in criminality in a specified area. They are given to people who have been convicted of an offence with the aim to prevent them engaging in further criminal behaviour.

Operation Vulture is the force’s campaign to tackle shoplifting across Lancashire.
