Hastings and Eastbourne Magistrates’ Courts imposed a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) on Daniel Ramsey, 39, of no fixed address, following his conviction for four offences of shoplifting, said Sussex Police.

He could face a prison sentence for failing to comply with the three-year court order, which also stipulates that he must fully engage with drug and alcohol rehabilitation services and attend all rehabilitation appointments.

Inspector Jayantha Mendis-Gunasekera, Hastings and Rother Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We are committed to protecting retailers from shoplifting, which costs businesses millions of pounds each year. Daniel Ramsey’s prolific offending was having a huge impact on many Bexhill shops, and this court result sends a strong message that shoplifting is not acceptable.”

A police spokesman said: “The order is in place until December 2023, and bans Ramsay from Bexhill town centre, other than to travel through the area on public transport, and the following specific Bexhill stores where he is previously known to have committed offences: Sainsburys, Buckhurst Place; Co-op (Western Road and Devonshire Road); Tesco Express, Collington Avenue; B&M, Ravenside Retail Park; One Stop, Sea Road; Aldi, London Road; Iceland, Devonshire Road; Lidl, Ninfield.”

Ramsey is currently in prison for other offences until June 2021, said police.
