CBO | A prolific Pershore shoplifter has been handed a three-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) banning her from seven stores in the town.

Kathleen Chesworth, 41, of Goldfinch Rise, Pershore, was given the order at Kidderminster Magistrates Court on Monday 16 December

Chesworth is prohibited from entering the following premises: -

• ASDA, King Georges Way, Pershore
• Tesco Express, High Street, Pershore
• Savers, High Street, Pershore
• Boots, High Street Pershore
• Co-op, Racecourse Road, Pershore
• Pplumz Ltd, High Street, Pershore
• The Factory Shop, Pershore

She is also prohibited from refusing to leave any retail premises when asked by someone who has authority to do so and from entering any retail premises that she has been banned from, where a banning letter/notice has been given to her previously.

Safer Neighbourhood Inspector for Wychavon, Dave Wise, said: “Chesworth’s prolific shoplifting has led to this three-year CBO which we hope will protect retailers and the public from further criminality from this individual.
