Tesco and Greggs ban for Peterborough crook caught shoplifting

A Peterborough crook has been banned from eight city shops – including a Tesco, Greggs and M&S – after being caught shoplifting.

James Maguire, 39, was jailed for ten weeks at Huntingdon Magistrates’ Court in October after he admitted two thefts from shops in Peterborough along with a theft from a vehicle in Scotney Street, New England, Peterborough.

After a further court application, Maguire, of Bevishall, Paston, Peterborough, was given a criminal behaviour order (CBO) by Peterborough magistrates which bans him from entering eight shops.

Sergeant Luke Cooke said: “A CBO application was submitted to the courts due to Maguire’s prolific offending which has a great impact on those he targets.

“The order gives us greater powers to tackle his offending, as we will be able to arrest with every breach.”

Morrisons, in Lincoln Road, Walton, Peterborough

Co-op, in Oundle Road, Orton Longueville, Peterborough
