Businesses in Braintree have been made safer after a shoplifter was banned from entering them following work from our Business Crime Team.
Jason Horne, 36, of Cressing Road, Braintree, was made subject of a Criminal Behaviour Order at Colchester Magistrates’ Court on Monday 10 January.
The order bans him from entering the following Braintree shops for five years:
Tesco, Market Place
McColl’s, Panfield Lane
BP Notley Cress
Texaco, Braintree by pass
Chelmsford Star Co-op, the Challis Lane and Rayne Road branches
Tesco Express, Coggeshall Road
Co-op Star, Cressing Road
The order, which expires on 9 January 2027, was granted after Horne was convicted of a number of thefts from Braintree shops which took place in 2021.
PC Alex Plakhtienko, from the Business Crime Team, said:
“Shoplifting and theft can have a devastating impact on shops and businesses, and their employees, as they try to make a living.
“We continue to protect businesses by charging shoplifters and bringing them to justice, followed by Criminal Behaviour Orders to keep that person away from their livelihood.
“Through our Open for Business, Closed for Crime campaign, we are working with businesses, encouraging them to report incidents to us.”
