The Copeland Neighbourhood Policing Team have taken action to stop a man’s criminal behaviour in west Cumbria.

A Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) was secured at Court on 28 February against Mark Timney, aged 53.

Timney has the following Criminal behaviour order conditions not to:

Enter any of the shops on the Whitehaven and Workington Shop Watch Scheme or any shops displaying the Whitehaven and Workington Shop Watch Scheme logo.

Banned from entering Greggs and the Co-op on Main Street, Egremont for two years from 28 February 24.

PC Andrea Hobbs said: "This Criminal Behaviour Order was a great outcome and is a useful tool to place restrictions on Timney to prevent further criminality and help protect business owners and local residents.

"I would encourage anyone who witnesses the terms of such a court order being broken to contact the police immediately. The punishment for breaking the terms of a CBO can be up to five years in prison.”

Anyone who witnesses Mark Timney breaching the terms of his CBO should contact the police.
