Man banned from Haymarket and Norwich shops

A man has been handed a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) banning him from entering a number of shops, the Haymarket area and carrying an open container of alcohol in Norwich.

Craig Canning, 38, of no fixed address appeared at Norwich Magistrates’ Court on Monday 12 October, where he was handed a five-year CBO after pleading guilty to possession of a controlled class B drug, namely cannabis, drunk and disorderly in a public place, failing to comply with a community protection notice and assaulting a constable in the execution of their duty.

Canning was arrested on Friday 9 October 2026 following drunk and disorderly behaviour in the area of Queen Street and Prince of Wales Road.

He had previously been issued with a Community Protection Notice on 25 September 2026 prohibiting him from being drunk within Norwich's inner ring road. He was subsequently found to be in breach of that notice.

The conditions of the CBO prevent Canning from entering:

He is also prohibited from possessing any open container containing alcohol, or any container from which alcohol is being consumed, in a public place within the city of Norwich (as defined by the Norwich Outer Ring Road).

During his court appearance Canning was also ordered to pay a fine of £120, costs of £40 and a victim surcharge of £48.

PC Conor McCartney, from the Norwich Operational Partnership Team, said: “Canning’s anti-social behaviour has had significant impact on the local community in Norwich.

“We hope this order helps to deter his offending and provides greater protection for residents, local shops and business across the city.

“Anti-social behaviour and retail crime remain a priority in Norwich. While we continue to work closely with partners and local businesses, we encourage this type of offending to be reported to us.”
