A shoplifter has been banned from a shopping centre and a number of shops in Merseyside.
Sean Clamp, from Bootle, can no longer enter any Boots, Co-Op Food Stores, Marks and Spencer, Tesco Express, Iceland or One Stop Shops, anywhere in Merseyside.
The 32-year-old will not be able to shop in the stores after a two-year criminal behaviour order was issued to him at Wirral Magistrates court on Tuesday, January 18.

The order also stops Clamp from going into the New Strand Shopping Centre and the surrounding area.
Clamp was given the order for being a 'repeat offender who caused a negative impact on the community.'
Raymond Mavrakakis, Community Policing Inspector in South Sefton, said: "Business thefts are not victimless crimes as they have a huge impact on the community in many ways.
"We hope this Criminal Behaviour Orders will deter other businesses from being targeted and serve as a warning to other shoplifters.
"The Order is an extremely effective tool, and our successful application for the CBO against Clamp in this case shows our commitment to robustly deal with repeat offenders who have a negative impact on the community.
"Should Clamp breach the conditions of this order, he will be arrested, returned to court and may be jailed."
