These 15 people have been banned from certain shops across Merseyside by police.
The offenders been been given Criminal Behaviour Orders for a range of reasons, including theft and anti-social behaviour. Because of their actions, Merseyside police have been granted the CBO against them by the courts.
Each person has been banned from a certain geographical area or specific shops including B&M, Home Bargains, Marks and Spencer and more. If they enter the restricted areas, outlined in their CBO, they could be arrested and face further punishment.
Criminal Behaviour Orders are used to target the most persistent offenders who won't stop committing crime and causing anti-social behaviour despite being brought before a court. It means that, on top of their sentence, the individual also faces additional restrictions that can last for an indefinite period if they are adults, or for up to three years for under 18s.
