Knowsley’s Anti-Social Behaviour Unit, including staff from Merseyside Police and Knowsley Council, has successfully applied for a Criminal Anti-Social Behaviour order (CRASBO) at Knowsley Magistrates Court today (26 January 2009).
Tracey Bernadette Caine, aged 43 years, from Reeds Road, Huyton pleaded guilty to three offences of theft in December 2008.
Due to this conviction, Knowsley’s Anti-Social Behaviour Unit applied for a Criminal Anti-Social Behaviour order, with the aim of protecting the business community from her anti-social behaviour.
The CRASBO was imposed by Magistrates, and will stay in place for two years.
- Under the terms of the CRASBO, Tracey Caine is prohibited: From entering Tesco, Steeley Way in Prescot.
- From entering Asda, Huyton Lane in Hutyon.
- From entering any retail outlet in the area bounded by and including Huyton Town Centre, including Lathom Road to the junction with Huyton Hey Road, to the junction with Derby Road, to the junction with Poplar Bank, to the junction with Archway Road back to the junction with Lathom Road.
Chief Inspector Claire Richards said: "The court recognised that Tracey Caine had been causing distress to businesses within the locality. Through our work with Knowsley Council, we have been successful in obtaining the Criminal Anti-Social Behaviour order, which will allow us to try to prevent this kind of behaviour in the future - and send a strong message to offenders.”
"The use of the CRASBO is a vital tool in our disposal and we will look to work with our partners locally to target offenders in this way, and use this legislation again in the future, with the aim of improving the quality of life for the business community in Knowsley."
Councillor Jackie Harris, Cabinet Member for Community Safety and Social Inclusion, added “This action sends out a clear message that we will take action against those causing anti-social behaviour. If Tracey breaks any of these conditions, she will be liable to up to five years imprisonment, a fine, or both.”
