Three prolific shoplifters have been banned from entering specific shops in the county.

Clive Tilley, 41, of Granville Road, Gillingham, has been handed a five-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) and ordered not to enter any Co-Op, Sainsbury’s, or Tesco stores.

The order was granted on July 27 at Medway Magistrates’ Court and Tilley was also given an 18-week sentence for theft.

Daniel Thompson, 52, of Devonshire Road in Gillingham was given an 18-month community order on August 4, and was ordered to pay a fine and £120 compensation for his shoplifting.

He was also handed a three-year CBO which bars him from entering any shop owned or managed by Lidl, Co-Op, Aldi, Sainsbury’s or Poundland in Medway.

She has been given a three-year CBO prohibiting her from entering any Asda, Wilko, Tesco or B&M within Kent.

Inspector Sasha Blomfield, of Medway’s Community Safety Team, said: “The orders were obtained to ensure those who act in such a manner face repercussions for their behaviour.

“Shoplifting is not a victimless crime and will not be tolerated. We worked with our partners, including the Safer Medway Partnership, to ensure these CBOs were authorised and I hope it sends a clear message to others who may be intent on committing similar crime.”
