Crewe man given two-year Criminal Behaviour Order

A man from Crewe has been banned from a number of shops in the town after neighbourhood officers secured a two-year a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO).

Cody Goodall appeared at Crewe Magistrates Court on 7 April where he was handed the order to curb him stealing from shops in the town.

Under the terms of the CBO, which was successfully applied for by officers from the Crewe Beat Team, the 27-year-old has been banned from Morrisons in West Street and Gainsborough Road, the Co-Op on Parkers Road, Readsdale Road and Rope Lane (Shavington), and The One Stop Shop in Haslington.

If Goodall fails to comply with the CBO, he will be committing a criminal offence which may result in a recall to prison or fine.

Inspector Dan Welch, of Crewe Local Policing Unit, said:

“Retail crime is very much on our radar and we are doing everything we can to support our local businesses and protect them from the threat thieves pose to their staff and their livelihoods.

“Orders such as CBOs are one of many tools that allow officers to deter thieves and prevent crime in our communities. Where we have information from the public that there is a problem, we will work with them to come up with long term solutions.

“You too can get involved in helping us fight crime by telling us the issues that matter to you. You can do this by going to our Residents Voice page.”

Anyone who encounters Goodall breaching any of the above restrictions is urged to contact Cheshire Police via the website or call 101, to report it.
