Serial shoplifter banned from Chesterfield stores after spate of thefts

David Annetts, of St Augustines Mount in Chesterfield, was handed a three-year order Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) at Derby Crown Court on Thursday, 7 March.

The order bans the 43-year-old from entering the Ravenside Retail Park on Markham Road, The Pavements Shopping Centre, as well as any of the stores on Lordsmill Street and from Low Pavement in the town centre.

A CBO is an order designed to tackle the most serious and persistent anti-social individuals where their behaviour has brought them before a criminal court. Failure to comply with the conditions of a Criminal Behaviour Order is an arrestable offence which could result in a prison sentence, a fine or both.

The order was sought by officers from the Chesterfield Town Centre Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team, due to Annetts’ high level of offending and offences committed over a 17-month period.
