Cornwall man jailed after breaking court order

 Cornwall man jailed after breaking court order

25-year-old man, Harry Evans, of Well lane Liskeard, has been sentenced to 10-months in prison after being caught in shops he was banned from stepping foot inside.

He pleaded guilty to three breaches of his criminal behaviour order CBO between 11 and 30 April after he entered retailers he was barred from in Liskeard and Barnstaple.

The court heard how just weeks after being served a police notice not to enter Spar, Co-Op or Poundland, Evans continued to enter the stores.

Evans was also sentenced for 10 shoplifting offences which took place in Liskeard and Barnstaple in April.

He appeared at Truro Magistrates Court on Tuesday 19 May.

CBOs are a vital tool for us when dealing with prolific offenders - we hope this positive result shows just how effective they can be in preventing harm across our communities and providing respite to local retailers.

This outcome was achieved through work carried out by the new East Cornwall Neighbourhood Support Team. They are in place to supplement existing neighbourhood policing provision and provide targeted support with specialist skills around East Cornwall.

In this case, the team were key in locating and arresting Evans, as well as collating evidence to support the investigation.
