Man convicted of breaching criminal behavior order | News

He was sentenced to ten weeks in prison.

Jacob Porter, 33, of The Common, Grendon, was jailed for 10 weeks after breaching a criminal behavior order four times.

The order, issued in 2021, requires Porter to stay out of an area around Long Street and Market Street in Atherstone and was put in place following a number of shoplifting incidents by Porter.

Porter must also pay a £154 victim surcharge.

On 6, 12 and 13 May 2024, Porter was witnessed by CCTV to be in areas prohibited by the order.

On May 19, he was seen in the area by a PCSO.

Sgt Adam Skelsey from Atherstone Safer Neighborhood Team said: “Criminal behavior orders are a last chance for people who have repeatedly taken part in criminal and anti-social behavior in our public spaces.

“Porter had been warned and now faces the consequences of his actions. We hope this will provide businesses on Market Street and Long Street with a welcome respite and encourage Porter to carefully consider its next steps.”
