PC Simon Hunter from Scarborough’s Neighbourhood Policing Team has been working with Scarborough’s Retail Crime Officer to collate the incidents involving Noble to bring about the CBO. PC Hunter said: “Noble has persistently targeted businesses within our town and we want to prevent further offending and anti-social behaviour.
“This order has demonstrated the results which can be achieved when we work together with our businesses and put offenders before the courts.” Breaching this order is a criminal offence, which means that Noble could be imprisoned for a period of up to 5 years.
