Criminal Behaviour Order imposed

This Redcar woman has been handed a two-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) preventing her from begging and being abusive.

Emma Richie, 45, was issued with a CBO by the courts after Redcar’s Neighbourhood Policing Team worked with council colleagues to act on concerns from the public.

The CBO is in place until December 2027 and means Richie will have to abide by a number of conditions or face prosecution. If found to have breached the order, she could be fined or receive jail time.

Under the order she must not: 

Where there is a continuous pattern of unacceptable behaviour, we will look to obtain a CBO to prevent crime and antisocial behaviour in our town centres.

Law-abiding members of the public don’t want to be harassed or alarmed when they’re going about their day and I hope this recent result shows the public we are listening to their concerns.

Anyone with information or concerns about crime or antisocial behaviour can contact Cleveland Police in 101 or visit our website to report non-emergencies.
